Overview

We’re offering you the opportunity to explore beyond the usual, and join us in
discovering ‘off the map’ places. With local guides who are indigenous to each area
of travel and who speak the languages, understand the culture and local history.

A
most spiritual land of ancient sun-burnt plains, grand rivers, rolling hills, and
deserted beaches. A country steeped in centuries of tradition. Filled with ethnic
diversity and many people living as they have done for centuries. Once known as
Burma, and closed off from the world for the past half-century or so, there are still
no tourist crowds. Myanmar is a unique destination. A place filled with culture, beauty and history.
