The country we call home

We don’t hand you an itinerary. We hand you Myanmar.

Since 1994 we’ve been one of Myanmar’s longest-running destination specialists — a small, family-owned team that has spent three decades learning every back-road temple, lake village and tea-house worth the detour.

That means no off-the-shelf packages. We listen first, then quietly build a journey around the way you actually like to travel — pairing the icons with the moments most visitors never find.

The Golden Four

It is hard to go wrong with an itinerary that weaves together Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake — the four great pillars of any Myanmar journey.

Where we’ll take you

A country of many worlds, an hour’s flight apart.

Mandalay Region

Bagan

Three thousand temples scattered across a single misty plain — best met from a balloon at first light.

Shan State

Inle Lake

Leg-rowing fishermen, floating gardens and silver-smith villages on stilts above still water.

The former capital

Yangon

Gilded Shwedagon, faded colonial grandeur and the country’s most electric street food.

The last royal city

Mandalay

Gold-leaf workshops, teak monasteries and the famed U Bein bridge glowing at dusk.

Mon State

Kyaiktiyo

The gravity-defying Golden Rock — a boulder of pure faith balanced above the clouds.

Shan highlands

Kalaw & the hills

Cool pine country, hill-tribe markets and trekking trails that wind down toward the lake.

How it feels

The moments you’ll still be telling people about.

Temples at first light

Private balloon flights and rooftop dawns over Bagan, before the day-trippers arrive.

The Irrawaddy by boat

Slow river cruises and chartered skiffs between Mandalay, Bagan and the lake.

Living traditions

Lotus-silk weavers, gold-beaters and monastery alms rounds — met as a guest, not a spectator.

A table with locals

Tea-house breakfasts, market grazing and home kitchens led by people we’ve known for years.

Travel that gives back

We believe the best journeys leave a place better than they found it.

Local guides, locally-owned stays, fair wages and a share of every trip reinvested into the communities you’ll visit. Responsible travel isn’t a line item for us — it’s how a family business survives for thirty years.

Travellers’ Choice, year after year.

A few words from the guestbook — and from TripAdvisor, where our travellers keep sending us back.

“

Thirty years of local knowledge shows in every detail. They sent us to villages we’d never have found, and timed Bagan’s sunrise perfectly.

We changed our plans twice and they reshaped the whole trip overnight without a fuss. The guides felt like old friends by the end.

Genuinely tailor-made — not a template with our names on it. Worth every kyat, and the most seamless travel we’ve ever done in Asia.
