Experiences in Myanmar are as diverse as the country itself. The multitude of ethnic groups that call this fascinating land home, mean there are myriad ways to experience this cultural tapestry of a nation. With a curious spirit and an excellent guide, Myanmar will have a powerful and lasting impact.

IT'S ALL ABOUT<span class="indend">THE EXPERIENCE</span> IT'S ALL ABOUT<span class="indend">THE EXPERIENCE</span>

IT'S ALL ABOUTTHE EXPERIENCE

Myanmar is a country of unexpected experiences and elusive reference points. Sometimes it feels a bit like India, sometimes like Thailand or China but usually like none of those neighbours at all. 

It’s hard to pin down, but whether it’s enjoying a tea in one of the multitudes of tea shops (with Premiership football on in the background), enjoying a joke (the Burmese love a joke) or resting at a monastery, Myanmar experiences will stay with you forever.

You can’t escape temples and pagodas in Myanmar, though it’s the blend of ancient and modern and their place within society today, which makes them so interesting. However, this isn’t the only thing to do in the country; you also have beaches, hills, rural regions and several captivating cities to keep you captivated during your luxury Myanmar holiday.  

OUR SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES - A SNEAK PEEK

ETG signature tours or excursions that we devise with our local partners to reveal the fabric of the destination. Our signature tours are all about combining special places to visit in Myanmar with authentic interactions with local people. Whether it’s visiting a social enterprise, a unique tour or a day-trip to a little-known spot, you won’t find our signature Myanmar experiences anywhere else. 

Loikaw to Lake Inle via Sakar

Loikaw to Lake Inle via Sakar

Sip on a refreshing drink as you sail on a little private boat through the mangroves from Loikaw to a unique arrival at evocative Lake Inle. En route, marvel at the remarkable one hundred Buddhist temples that rise out of Sankar Lake.

The History and Culture of Yangon

The History and Culture of Yangon

Experience the striking contrast between village life and urban Yangon by combining the landmark colonial buildings of the city with a boat across the river to Dala township. As night falls, return to Chinatown for a street food dinner and a refreshing local beer.

Yandabo Home

Yandabo Home

Stop overnight on the banks of the Irrawaddy River at the remarkable Yandabo Home. Explore the local pottery workshops, see the local community cultivating the land with water buffalo and stay in an understated boutique cottage.

THE RECIPE FOR ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME MYANMAR EXPERIENCES

Pace the temples

Temples, monasteries and stupas are of course a must-see in Myanmar, but it can be easy to cram in too many and get templed out. We will ensure your trip is paced to suit your interest.

Journeys that count

Try different forms of transport, trains, boats and bikes, a great way to experience Myanmar rather than domestic flights or cars.

Get Up Early

You must have at least one sunrise experience in Myanmar - whether a once-in-a-lifetime balloon ride over Bagan or a stroll to the top of a temple in Loikaw.

Join in with the locals

Whether it's by taking the circle train in Yangon, trying fermented tea or local beer or just wandering around the morning markets, interaction with local people is a must.
