Adventures in Burma O Ideal for 10+ Teen Departures Highlights of the golden land
Half hidden from the world for decades and only recently re-opened to visitors, Burma is an exciting and adventurous
destination. The itinerary has been designed to maximise interaction with the wonderfully friendly locals – both children and adults – to help learn about local life. Admire gold-encrusted pagodas in Rangoon, witness the amazing ‘leg-rowers’ at Inle
Lake, visit a giant’s pagoda and bell in Mandalay and the temple-studded plain of Bagan. We also explore the Shan highlands, discovering old British hillstations and meeting the local tribal people.
