"An Orwellian Experience The small riverside town on the Irrawaddy River was the model for Kyauktada in George Orwell's novel Burmese Days. Squint your eyes and you can imagine how things were in the era when Orwell resided here. There's not much in the town itself, but it makes a pleasant pitstop for a couple of days between river rides."
