On Burma's Frontiers

It’s a golden moment for travel to Burma. Being far beyond the beaten path has left many pockets of humanity in a type of splendid seclusion that is unprecedented in Southeast Asia. The gentle, gracious people of this beautiful Buddhist nation are hopeful that freedom, openness and engagement with the international community will prevail. This extraordinary new journey encounters tribal people in their villages, visits exquisite temples, pagodas and archaeological sites and joins an extraordinary festival deep in the Shan hills. Burma will change rapidly in the coming years, so seize the day and travel now to Burma..
