BASSEIN TO RANGOON
2 Nights Aboard Ship
Day 1 | Bassein. Wakema. Travel by car from Rangoon (4 hours) and embark the Katha Pandaw for a noon departure with lunch to follow, taking the more usual upper delta route of the old IFC ‘launch service’ between Rangoon and Bassein. Evening exploration of this attractive river port.
Day 2 | Wakema. Maubin. On these busier channels there will be a variety of shipping whilst the riverbanks team with life and activity. Maubin is a very pleasant place to enjoy a sunset walk along its colourful strand.
Day 3 | Maubin. Rangoon. Morning run crossing the Twante Canal and home to the Rangoon River and our berth in colonial downtown and disembarkation noon (lunch excluded).
Optional 2 night cruise extension. The more serious river adventurer can stay on board for a return two-night journey from Bassein to Rangoon returning by a different route through the upper delta.
Optional Hotel Stay. An additional night may be booked on board the Katha Pandaw the night before sailing or on your return to Rangoon in the bustling city port situated in the heart of the colonial downtown area which will include a delightful dinner cruise.
