Highlights of Burma - 9 days

Discover exotic Burma (Myanmar) on this journey through its highlights. This is a land spiked with temples, with cities built on rivers’ edges and whole towns floating on a lake. Meet the friendly people of this charming land at markets, villages and Monasteries, for a true insight into life in a land which has been mostly cut off from Western influence for so long. If you are seeking colonial architecture, countless temples, stunning landscapes and locals welcoming you with open arms, this is the trip for you.

1.  Travelling through the Bagan plains at sunset by horsecart gives you an evocative feeling of the area in days gone by.
2.  While in Bagan, disembark your boat for a visit to a little-visited riverside village to meet the locals.
3.  A heart-warming visit to a local nunnery to share lunch, which you have bought that morning at the markets, with the resident nuns.

You have the benefit of our professional English-speaking local guides and when your departure reaches seven or more travellers you will also be accompanied by an expert Western tour leader. Their insight and knowledge means you can expect experiences no guidebook can offer, and you will be inspired by their passion. Having them accompany you for the entire journey means they can impart their vast knowledge and experience of the local culture and history and can answer any questions you may have.

Our style of travel is ideal for the solo traveller. You’ll meet like minded people, and always have someone to eat with at night. We even offer a ‘Willing to share’ option on all Classic Journeys so you don’t have to pay a single supplement. If we can’t match you with another ‘Willing to share’ traveller of the same sex, you get a single room at no extra cost! more info
