Peoples of Myanmar

Discover the diverse cultures and people of Myanmar in this 2-week journey across some of the different cultures of Burma.

Begin in Yangon, Myanmar's de-facto capital city, with its magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda, one of the most impressive sights in the whole of South East Asia.

Visit the surrounding areas of Yangon to discover life in the vicinity of Yangon.

Pyin Oo Lwin was formerly a British Hill Station (Maymyo) and is home to 5,000 Nepalis and 10,000 South Indians, a legacy of the era of British rule.

Mandalay has some great sights in the surrounding countryside, including Amarapura and Sagaing.

This is a great day for discovering local crafts and artisanship as well as to see the great monasteries of Burma.

Inle Lake is home to the Intha people and the unique one-legged rowing technique of the local fishermen. It is also one of the most scenic locations in Myanmar.

Kengtung is a sleepy but historic centre for the state's Khun culture, surrounded by Wa, Shan, Akha and Lahu villages, each with their own unique customs and way of life.

All of our Classic Myanmar Tours are completely tailor-made and can be adjusted to suit your interests or budget.

Is this a Private Tour or a Group Tour?

All of our tours are private tailor made itineraries, customised for you - we can amend things to entirely suit you.

You will have your own private car, driver and guide on excursions.

What are the departure dates?

Let us know your preferred dates of travel and we will find the best and most suitable flights to fit your itinerary.

As this is a private tour, there are no set departure dates.

Which Airlines do you use?

We work with all the major airlines flying to this part of the world.

Typically for Burma, Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines and Emirates would be airlines we would often use.

However, just let us know your preferred airline if you have one. We can organise flights from any regional destination in the UK.

There are no direct flights from the UK to Myanmar currently.

Which Hotels do you use?

We're careful with our choice of hotels, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.

We specialise in boutique hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller hotels where we think these will be suitable.

We keep on top of hotel developments in Burma from our office in South East Asia and regularly inspect the hotels we use.

Do you cater for Solo Travellers?

Yes, we have many solo travellers and Burma is a very safe, friendly and welcoming destination for those travelling alone.

River cruises in Burma are a popular option for solo travellers, especially with Pandaw Cruises who offer no Single Supplements on many departures.

How long have you been organising holidays to Burma?

We've been organising tailor made holidays to Burma for over 10 years.

Our team has a wealth of combined experience in the industry and our Director has been involved in organising holidays to Burma since the early 1990's.

Our partners on the ground in Burma have over 20 years experience in operating there.

They understand the country extremely well and have a strong infrastructure of staff, guides and vehicles within Burma. We've had the same partnership for over 10 years.

Is it ethical to travel to Burma?

We've faced this question since we started our business and it's been a debated topic for decades.

In our opinion, boycotting Burma only harms local people, disrupts livelihoods and does nothing to dissuade the government to act in one way or another.

The tourism business is vital for local guides and their families and this is who we help support when we send our customers to Burma.
