Irrawaddy

Also Irrawaddy, principal river of Myanmar (Burma), formed in the north by the confluence of two rivers. The Irrawaddy is about 2,010 km (1,250 mi) long. Branching into several mouths that form an extensive delta, it empties into the Andaman Sea. The Irrawaddy provides the main means of communication between important points in the interior and southern port cities, especially Rangoon. Mandalay is a port on the Irrawaddy. The following itineraries are currently being offered. Please let us know if you would like to receive additional information for any of these programs. These are highly original travel programs designed for the adventurous explorer on two newly renovated river boats with 10 and 15 twin bed cabins. These are seasonal programs with limited departures. Special charters for groups can be negotiated.
