Experience The Beauty of Myanmar Nature

Kalaw is nestled among the mountains and caves of Shan State, located about two hours west of Inle Lake. The British built this highland retreat to escape the heat of Yangon and Mandalay. You can still see British colonial architecture and a popular marketplace in the small downtown area. And even though this is a rural town, local restaurants still offer a nice variety of Asian and European cuisine.

Nestled in the high Shan Hills of eastern Myanmar, the breathtaking natural wonder known as Inle Lake serves as the center of a bustling boating community. Although a few things around the lake can be reached by car, the only real way to experience this lake culture is to hire a boat and immerse you.

Southwestern Myanmar, formerly home of the Arakan Kingdom, stands on its own from the rest of the country for most of its history. During the majority of Burmese rule, it remained a powerful autonomous kingdom. The gray stone-and-brick temples and pagodas in Mrauk U stand as the final testament to the last great Arakan Empire. Unfortunately, the current political situation has made visiting this site impossible. As soon as life in Rakhine stabilizes, we will update this page with new information and visitors can once again see this stunning piece of Burmese history.

This vacation, go on an adventure. We're not just talking exciting tours, but an entire destination that's largely uncharted. Myanmar's (Burma's) Mergui Archipelago consists of 800 islands that are, for the most part, uninhabited. Spend your days immersed in the beauty of nature, as you enjoy pristine white-sand beaches; well-preserved mangroves; rugged, unspoilt jungles; and the life-giving waters of the Andaman Sea.
