Will post an itinerary with pics soon thumbsup.gif

It's the usual big 4 route with hsipaw, kyaiktiyo and hpa-an thrown in. Instead of kalaw-inle trek, I changed last minute to Hpa-An, a very underrated place in myanmar imo

I don't think Myanmar celebrates CNY. All the shops should be open as usual.
Just to be safe, check the public holidays.

I haven't been to laos or myanmar but 8 days for 2 countries is do able. But you will spend more time on travelling from one place to another than actually travelling. Just stick to one country.

If 8days in Myanmar only cover Yangon Bagan Mandalay ok? Which route is better? Yangon Bagan Mandalay Yangon or better fly to Yangon and fly out from Mandalay?

Hsipaw can be seen in one full day, go for morning trek in the countryside, finish up with a visit to nam hu nwe waterfall. You can also check out little bagan or try yuan yuan fruit shake. Then finish up the day by going to sunset hill for sunset

Inle can be done in one full day if you decide to do only the boat tour. However, advisable to stay an extra day to do the cycling tour around inle, that was a particular highlight for me drool.gif

Will detail all these in the second part of my myanmar itinerary, hopefully will finish soon after I release the first part end of this month rclxub.gif

Flight if you can afford. There is overnight bus that has big comfy seats but it is a long journey.
