The Magnificent Adventures of Myanmar
As soon as one enters Myanmar, it is as if one has entered a land where time has stood still. Most famous for its exquisite landscapes and beautiful temples, this country has only recently opened its tourism sector. Many travel experts consider this tiny South Asian country an ideal destination for adventure.
Temple in Mandalay, Myanmar
While many people who arrive spend all their days exploring the gorgeous temples of Yangon, if you are looking to tread the road less travelled, here are a few adventure activities you must consider –
Diving with the Moken
Also known as the sea gypsies, this unique tribe of divers in Myanmar is renowned for the incredible feats they perform underwater. Hire a boat and explore the Mergui Archipelago with the Moken. The corals here are like nowhere else on this planet. This experience is also a great way to interact with this rather unique tribe.
Cycling the Burma Road
Go off the beaten track to Lashio, in the country’s north, which borders China. Home to the famed “Burma Road,” this is a great route to consider for cycling enthusiasts. This road is believed to have played an essential role in the fight against the Japanese during World War II.
Balloons over the Bagan
The temples of Old Bagan are an overwhelming sight to see, even from land. Imagine starting your day and rising with the sun on a hot air balloon to get a bird’s eye view of these exquisite temple complexes. An ideal group adventure, this one should not be missed when in Myanmar.
The Lost World of Mrauk U
Few people realize how truly picturesque the Rakhine State really is. To be able to get here, you have to fly, sail, and even hike. Making your visit worthwhile is an archaeological site comprising over 600 temples and ruins, each more breathtaking than the last. Its inaccessibility has kept it largely untouched by tourists, making it ideal for those seeking to visit the unexplored. Also, make it a point to explore the Chin Villages, where women were traditionally set apart by facial tattoos.
The key to exploring this untouched country is to create an itinerary that isn’t commercial but personally fulfilling. With The Flash Pack, an innovative group tour company that designs customised adventure tours to Myanmar and many other exotic places, you will be able to get all this and more.
