Myanmar is exceptional. Isolated for years, it has retained its enchanting culture, spirituality and old world charm like no other place on earth. Once hesitant travelers are now free to explore its diverse, rugged and stunningly rich landscapes. The traits of modern civilization have barely touched Burma, allowing those who visit an opportunity to gain insight into a country that has remained unchanged for centuries. Travelers to ‘The Golden Land’ are exposed to a sense of raw adventure, exploring the mystical Orient in a destination where high rise buildings are a foreign enigma. Ox carts line the roadside, mobile phones are still a novelty and locals are genuinely intrigued to hear your story. Burma stretches to meet Himalayan Tibet in the north, bordering China and tapers down the long peninsula coast, side by side with Thailand. The unspoiled southern coastline, cooled by breezes off the Andaman Sea and void of crowds, is a hidden gem.
