The Road to Mandalay

Irrawaddy River also known as Ayeyarwady River – transliterated by the current government of Myanmar, and thanks to Rudyard Kipling’s poem, it sometimes referred to as “The Road to Mandalay.”

The largest and longest waterway of the country, 2,170km long, originated from the Himalayan glaciers, also regarded as Myanmar’s River of Spirits!
