Tailor-Made Luxury Holidays to Myanmar, Designed Around You.

Myanmar, or Burma, lies on the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea coast and is bordered by the likes of India, Bangladesh, China, Laos and Thailand. Despite its colonial past, Burma is a country that has resisted western influence, and instead maintains not just age-old traditions and religions, but also the traditional Burmese way of life - you’ll see not just immense beauty in the stupas and temples but will no doubt note encounters with men wearing skirt-like Burmese Longyi and the local women proudly displaying their thanakha make-up.

You will quite literally leave the modern world behind once you pass the border into Myanmar - mobile phones won’t work here, the internet does - but you’ll find that it’s generally too slow to use for anything beyond a quick email, there are no ATM’s and you’ll be immersed into a culture where religious leaders are treated like the west treats its celebrities. Burma in this regard is quite unique.

The country is made up of no fewer than 135 ethnic groups - they are particularly evident when visiting towns such as Kengtung - home to the Shan and various hill tribe people, Hsipaw - home to Shan and Palaung villagers, and Myitkyina - home to the Kachin and host to a variety of colourful tribal festivals.

Best Time to Travel to Myanmar

You can travel to Myanmar any time of year, but the best time to go depends on the weather and your own travel style. It's three main seasons in the country: cool, hot, and monsoon. Each one is different. The cool season, to November to February, is the best time to visit Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, and Inle Lake as the climate is beautiful. It is great for sightseeing, cultural tours, and outdoor activities if you plan your trip successfully. From March to May, the weather is warmer, but it's a good time for travelers that hope to avoid tourist attractions get better hotel interactions. The monsoon season, that maintains from June to October, turns countryside into rich green fields, so it's a peaceful and beautiful place to travel. Visitors enjoy a smooth and fun trip all year long with carefully planned tour plans that combine culture, nature, and comfort for a memorable holiday in Myanmar.
