About Burma & South East Asia Tours

With its bamboo groves and rugged mountain backdrop, the hill station of Kalaw makes good base for hiking and visiting minority villages. The town has a distinct mix of Indian and Nepalese culture.

Encircled by rugged hills, magical Inle Lake sustains a constellation of small stilt villages inhabited by the Intha people, best known for their idiosyncratic, one-legged rowing style.

Home to a wonderland of precious Buddhas, the famous Pindaya limestone caves homeycomb cliffs rising above a glassy lake – a serene spot that has soothed souls for many hundreds of years.

Join the crowds who in the cool months between October and March flock to Kyaikhtiyo, a day's drive from Yangon, to marvel at a massive, gravity-defying golden boulder, seemingly about to plunge from a cliff edge.

Crammed into a site the size of Manhattan, around 4,400 Buddhist temples and stupas rise from the plain lining a bend in the Ayeyarwady River at Bagon – one of Asia’s most magical vistas.

With its wide, shaded lanes, leafy parks, and Victorian-Edwardian buildings, the city of Yangon still retains a faded colonial feel – while the shimmering golden Shwedagon Paya pagoda, on a hilltop above the city, recalls its ancient Buddhist roots.
