Taking a river steamer along the Irrawaddy is one of the most enjoyable ways to travel. In particular, the Mandalay-Bagan express ferry is recommended as the best way to travel between these two places, as it will show you slices of Burmese life both on the river and along its banks. There now appear to be three ferries, a twice-weekly slow ferry mainly for locals, the original daily express ferry used by tourists, and a new twice weekly express ferry also aimed at tourists.
