Myanmar Small Group Touring and Cruises
With so many highlights Burma is a brilliant destination to tour; Mandalay was Burma’s last royal capital before the arrival of the British and sits on the banks of the Irrawaddy River, Yangon (Rangoon) contains the incomparable Shwedagon Pagoda whose golden spire becomes mesmeric at sunset, beautiful Inle Lake is home to stilt villages and the strange style of rowing while the 3000 or so temples of Bagan are truly jaw-dropping. Group Burma tours are extremely popular so early booking really is recommended.
"Among the highlights of Myanmar are marvellous ancient monuments, dramatic scenery and its charming people."
IMPORTANT NOTE:
There are conflicting and well-documented views on whether or not British tour operators should promote tourism to Myanmar. Bales Worldwide is a non-political organisation, and we believe that there is as much potential harm inflicted by isolating the country as by allegedly supporting the regime by sending tourists. We use a privately-owned Burmese ground agents for all our services in Myanmar, and only use internationally-managed, non-government hotels. Tourism brings essential employment to the local communities within Myanmar and we believe this important point should not be overlooked
