| Biking Myanmar Tour Start / Finish:
Yangon / Yangon  Life in Lower Gear
It is the quiet mystique of Myanmar that proves so compelling. Here is a nation that, for many, feels largely undiscovered and yet is one of the gems of Southeast Asia and one of the most extraordinary trips ever!
From biking the lush countryside, to strolling through ancient villages and spectacular temples, to floating along the current in the deluxe comforts of a riverboat, we take in Myanmar at a pace that reflects the gentle character of the country and reveals a land that will forever live in your imagination. Any decision to travel here must be carefully considered, but we think it’s the right thing to do. The Burmese people embrace us and encourage us to return.
