My friends and I did a bicycle trip around Dala with Uncharted Horizons this week. I have to say that this is by far the most outdoorsy and close to witnessing the real way of life of many of the locals here, experience you can have.
The tour started at 7.00am and ended at 12.30pm. We started off by cycling to a tea shop for breakfast with our two experienced guides, Sai and Michael, the breakfast was great as the selection was really wide and our guides obliged to advise on what to choose, their English was impeccable BTW. Once nourished we set off to catch a boat(s) across the river where the rural landscape unfolded in front of our eyes. It was almost like a different world from busy streets of Yangon, with beautiful scenery including little lakes, forested scenery, and lots of little villages where life was just buzzing. I’m not gonna go into too much detail as I don’t wanna spoil the trip but the whole experience, which required several boat trip in between the little inlets we traveled between, was utterly remarkable.
The whole cycling trip was about 30km in distance and apart from the breakfast break we had a tea break, and one or two others to take it all in. So all in all, not strenuous at all. The bikes provided were good quality mounts bikes with front wheel suspension and totally did the job. I can’t thank enough our lovely guides who I mentioned before, and Jochen who is in charge of operations for coming up with this experience.
