Ayravata Cruises is presenting a Grand Voyage of the Chindwin River. This river is the second most important river in Myanmar as well as being the largest tributary of the mighty Ayeyarwaddy. It flows entirely within Burma, meandering through beautiful valleys and jungles. Lofty blue mountains rise in the distance and tower over the towns and villages on its banks.

Apart from its spectacular scenery, Chindwin offers many old religious monuments. Grand Voyage of the Chindwin River is a river journey to discover the hidden treasures of the Golden Land, visiting Bagan, Pakkoku, Pakhan-Gyi, Monywa, Mingit, Kalewa, Mawlayik, and Mandalay. A journey on the Chindwin is perhaps one the most beautiful river cruises of Southeast Asia. This journey runs September 20–29. 2011 (10 days/9 nights), and starts from $3,150 pp. Ayravata Cruises has been operating cruises on the Chindwin since 2003.
