Q: How are tours handled during Poya day holidays?

Tour itineraries move along normally during Poya days (monthly Buddhist full moon holidays), but agencies meticulously plan around the related restrictions, such as the full stop on alcohol and meat sales outside the major hotels.Your guide will brief you about respectful behaviour, since temples will be quite crowded with local worshippers. DMCs usually refine Poya day schedules for nature safaris or rest and quiet rather than heavy cultural site touring, to dodge extreme crowding.
