For the next 10 days, we would be on the road, visiting some of the most fascinating places of the country on the way. First, we were headed to East, in the direction of the Lake Inle. On our first day, we made it through the curvy roads to the karst mountains, coffee plantations and the village of Ywangan, some 130 kilometers away from Mandalay. On the way, we had a stop at the famous U Bein Bridge.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-3879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1170949-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"At the U Bein Bridge\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1170949-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1170949-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1170949-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1170949.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>At the U Bein Bridge<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Renting a motorbike in Myanmar \u2013 Why Discovery Rides was the perfect pick for us<\/h2>\n\n<p>A few weeks back, Mika, a Finnish guy who runs a travel agency and a motorbike rental company in Myanmar, sent us a message. He had read our blog and liked what we are doing. We kept writing with him and finally ended up doing a collaboration. We are always up for road trips, and Mika\u2019s company, <a href=\"http:\/\/myanmarmotorbikes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Discovery Rides (opens in a new tab)\">Discovery Rides<\/a>, turned out anyway to be a perfect pick for us.<\/p>\n\n<p>Discovery Rides is the only motorbike rental company in Myanmar with the possibility of different pick-up and drop-off points. This meant that we could pick the bike up in Mandalay and drop it off in Yangon, which was very convenient, so we didn\u2019t have to return to our starting point on our way towards Thailand. As we picked up our bike at the Mandalay office, we could leave most of our stuff there, packed into a big plastic bag, which would be shipped to Yangon by bus.<\/p>\n\n<p>Another reason why we thought Discovery Rides was the perfect pick for us, was the fact that they are the only motorbike rental company in Myanmar renting out Royal Enfields. Royal Enfield is the iconic British-Indian motorbike with which we had fallen in love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/2020\/04\/28\/roadtrip-pobitora-rhinos-black-magic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">already in India<\/a>. Enfields are anyway quite a rarity on Myanmar\u2019s roads, so we got many admiring stares on the way and the bike was a great conversation starter with the locals, as well.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-3881\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1180079-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The beautiful Enfield on the beautiful mountain road to Ywangan\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1180079-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1180079-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1180079-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1180079.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>The beautiful Enfield on the beautiful mountain road to Ywangan<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First stop: the famous U Bein Bridge<\/h2>\n\n<p>One has to stay really focused in the chaotic traffic of Mandalay. Luckily soon we got out of the busy city. Despite having left the hotel two hours later than planned, around 9 am, we decided to have a stop at the famous U Bein Bridge since it happened to be almost on the way.<\/p>\n\n<p>The 1200 meters long U Bein was built in 1850, making it the oldest teakwood bridge in the world. For many years it was also the longest one. This is a popular spot for sunrise and sunset watching, but it was a gorgeous sight also in broad daylight.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-3868\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-02-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Seri riding the Enfield next to the U Bein Bridge\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-02-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-02-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-02-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-02.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>Seri riding the Enfield next to the U Bein Bridge<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>The long bridge crosses the Thaung Tha Man Lake, where fishermen are pulling their nets from the water and birds fly around, trying to catch something to eat. We spent at least an hour in this idyllic setting, admiring the views and chatting with local people. A young guy from Mandalay told us, that in his opinion this is definitely the most beautiful place around Mandalay.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-3870\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-04-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Fishermen on the lake\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-04-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-04-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-04-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-04.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>Fishermen on Thaung Tha Man Lake<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-3871\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-05-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Locals working in the field\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-05-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-05-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-05-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-05.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>Locals working in the field<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-3880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1170953-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Amazing Burmese transportation skills\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1170953-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1170953-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1170953-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/P1170953.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>Amazing Burmese transportation skills<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Seri managed to drop his sunglasses straight through a gap on the bridge into the lake. Being the first day of our road trip, the timing couldn\u2019t have been worse. Driving on the dusty roads with an open helmet would not be too pleasant without sunglasses. Luckily, almost as soon as we continued our way, we saw a sunglass stand next to the high way. Maybe there are more sunglasses resting on the bottom of Thaung Tha Man Lake\u2026<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Through the peaceful countryside<\/h2>\n\n<p>Soon after U Bein we turned from the highway to a smaller streets, which took us through peaceful countryside. On the way we had a stop by a fruit stand, from where we got a giant drinking coconut. We were not far from Mandalay, yet, but judging from the curious stares of the people around us, they don\u2019t seem to get many tourists around here.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-3872\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-06-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The little fruit stand\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-06-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-06-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-06-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-06.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>The little fruit stand<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-3873\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-07-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"And the huge coconut\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-07-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-07-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-07-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/02-07.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>And the huge coconut<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gorgeous views and curvy mountain roads<\/h2>\n\n<p>Soon we crossed the border from the Mandalay area to the Shan state.

Seri was riding confident, but Johanna, sitting in the back, still felt a bit anxious, at least at the steepest curves.
