Burma - Boat Ride to Bagan

 Some pics of a boat ride on the Irrawaddy River. 

The Irrawaddy or, officially, Ayeyarwady River flows from north to south through Burma. It is the country's largest river. It is about 1,350 miles (2,170 km) long.
It is where they wash, drink, travel, and pray.

Its name is believed to derive from the Sanskrit term airāvatī, meaning “elephant river.”

It's source is the Himalayas.

 

Between Mandalay and Bagan.

Very relaxing... not much to do apart from watch the world go by.

 

It's a 12 hr trip
