Important travel advisory: Myanmar is a place that is close to our hearts, in large part for the beauty and character of the Burmese people themselves. So it is with great sadness that, given current FCDO travel advice, we have suspended our trips to this magical country. We are monitoring the situation closely and will resume our tours once it is safe – and ethical – to do so.
On a Myanmar holiday with Yonder, you’ll discover a land of rich diversity. There is enough history and culture to keep you enthralled for years. In the cities, there is a wealthy urban elite but everywhere else in this essentially rural nation, you will encounter stoic peasants tilling the fields. There are high mountains and plateaus with rolling pastures and densely forested hillsides. There are fertile lowlands producing vegetables and fruits in abundance. There are mighty rivers and dry arid plains.
