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.

Time has almost stood still in Kalaw, where agriculture and subsistence farming are the norm, along with the horse and trap.
