Myanmar is a tapestry of cultures, landscapes and everyday kindness. We invite you to look a little closer, listen a little longer, and discover the stories behind the sights.

From our home.
With heart.

We believe the best journeys bring people closer.

Our purpose is in our name and our promise: tourism for peace, love and understanding. We create space for genuine encounters, thoughtful exploration and a deeper appreciation of Myanmar.

To us, tourism means listening to communities, respecting their choices and keeping more of travel's benefits close to home. Local guides, independent businesses and cultural respect belong at the centre of every journey.

Travel with understanding

A LITTLE KNOW-HOW GOES A LONG WAY

Come curious.
Travel prepared.

The practical things, so you can focus on the meaningful ones.

Good journeys start with good information. Always check current official advice before making travel plans.

Visas & entry requirements+

UK government guidance checked on 27 September 2026 states that British travellers need a visa before travel and a passport valid for at least 6 months after arrival. Rules differ by nationality. Confirm your eligibility, documents and permitted entry points with Myanmar's official eVisa portal or your nearest embassy before booking. An eVisa does not guarantee entry.

When is the best time to visit?+

November to February is generally cooler and drier in central Myanmar. March to May can be very hot, while the monsoon usually runs from May to October. Conditions vary by region; lake levels, transport and activity availability are seasonal.

A little respect goes a long way+

Do dress modestly at religious sites, remove shoes and socks where required, and ask before photographing people. Don't touch anyone's head, point your feet at Buddha images, or photograph military facilities. Follow your guide's advice and respect people's wish for privacy.

Currency & everyday essentials+

The local currency is the Myanmar kyat (MMK). Exchange rates change, and card acceptance, ATMs and international transfers can be unreliable. Confirm lawful exchange options and a practical cash plan before arrival. Myanmar uses UTC+6:30; Burmese is the official language and Nay Pyi Taw is the capital.

Is now the right time to visit?+

Travel can support local guides, artisans and family businesses. However, Myanmar is experiencing armed conflict and serious security risks, and many governments advise against travel to all or parts of the country. These example routes are not confirmation of safe access. Check your government's advice, insurance exclusions and current local conditions before deciding.
