A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME INVITATION
You are invited to join us in an 11 day tour of Myanmar commencing in Yangon on the 10th of January 2027 and finishing in Mandalay on the 21th. You can depart from Mandalay International airport to Bangkok or Kunming, or return to Yangon for departure.
This is a very special unique opportunity to visit a country that is locked in the past and has been isolated from the world for decades. When you enter Myanmar, you step back in time. Unlike its neighbours whose paradise is a lost cause, Myanmar has it with its rich history and unchanged way of life. I always feel safe in Myanmar, the people are respectful and tourist crime does not exist.
WHAT YOU WILL SEE
YANGON -
Begin your journey in the nation's largest city. Visit the magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda, one of the world's great religious monuments, its golden stupa rising 98 metres above the city and visible from miles around.
BAGAN -
Fly to the ancient capital of Burma, where more than two thousand temples and pagodas spread across a vast plain. Watch the sunrise from a temple terrace. Nothing in the world compares to it.
MANDALAY -
A city of history and living culture. Visit the Royal Palace, cross the legendary U-Bein Bridge
And on Day 6, visit the school supported by the Road to Mandalay Education Foundation and meet the children and teachers your community helps support
PYIN OO LWIN -
We will travel into the mountains and visit this charming colonial town. Explore the magnificent botanical gardens, stroll past grand Victorian mansions, and see how graciously the British once lived in Burma.
