An encounter with the Himalayas
No. of Days: 14
Overview: Pagodas sprouting from every corner, hot-air balloons hanging over acres of fields and bucolic hamlets addressed to valleys are the reasons why one should book a trip to Myanmar. Add to that, the pulsating cities of Thailand, and this weighs equal on fun and relaxation. Even though Thailand is abundantly featured on brochures and blogs, Myanmar adds to the ‘offbeat’ quotient. Both countries promise serene Buddhist monasteries and beautiful countryside. We add ample unexplored regions, so you’re not in step with the other tourists.
The idea is to see the region with a new gaze and align to the local rhythm – whether it’s life in the villages, local food or great homestays that we choose for you. While the small places are sure to be indelibe, the major towns add to the excitement. We cover Yangon, Inle Lake, Bagan, Mandalay and Bangok, Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai to experience their unique ambience.
The region thrives with natural wonders so the outdoor enthusiasts will love a tryst with nature. Besides nature, heritage and spirituality feature high on this itinerary.
What to Expect: Covering two countries, which mirror each other in some ways, and are absolutely different in others, is a great way to travel. Thailand and Myanmar are destinations that offer an accurate window into Southeast Asia. There is a decided tranquillity in both the countries thanks to their Buddhist heritage. The countryside of lakes and patient fishermen on the sides can look the same, yet there are so many varied experiences that you will be enthralled on a daily basis. Each day will trump over the previous one in sights and sounds.
