Remote Burma (Myanmar): Journey into the hills
Preferred
Overview
Short Description
Subject to a long period of isolation, Myanmar has remained relatively untouched by the outside world. Consequently, its temple-strewn landscapes and royal palaces survive refreshingly unspoiled. As the country has opened up, our specialists have explored Myanmar’s well-known cities and its little visited villages and countryside. Taking this first-hand knowledge, we can create a tailor-made Myanmar holiday, shaped around your preferences.

Disappointing Travel Specialist
A Golden Experience!
The trip exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Starting with time in the Darwin Area then on to Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef the 'top end' of Australia was fascinating. Then came Ularu in the heart of Australia such a spiritual and atmospheric environment. The bustling city of Sydney exceeded all expectations. Circular Quay was fascinating and so photogenic with both Harbour Bridge and Opera House. The Botanical gardens are beautiful and trips to Bondi and Manley beaches were not to be missed. Miss Saigon at the Opera House on our last night in Australia provided the pinnacle to our Australian experience. Tokariki island resort, Fiji is the most beautiful environment we have ever been in and the Fijian staff were friendly, courteous and faultless in everything they did. Fiji was a wonderful end to a perfect Golden Wedding celebration.
Perfection. Well done Audley and their Japan specialist Malcolm Wellby.
It Could Not Have Been Better!
Hotels and Safari Camps and their staffs were superb. And we are “worrywarts” so David’s thoroughness and patience were terrific!
