YonderYonderYonderImportant 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.
Mandalay. It is one of those few names that alone evoke the charms of a lost past. Kipling immortalised it in a poem many still know by heart (On the road to Mandalay, where the flying fishes play, and the dawn comes up like thunder out of China across the bay). Sinatra sang about it on Come Fly With Me. Kay Francis starred in a gloriously ill-acted 1934 black and white movie named after it.
Mandalay has been Yonder in our imaginations for a long, long time. Once a royal city, it has a rich history. The city’s people are rightly proud of their heritage and perhaps that pride slightly colours their approach to the rest of the world.. Who can blame them!
