Discover Burma

The hotels are of a very good standard, roughly comparable to a 2/3 star standard with air conditioning, spacious rooms and centrally located. Because certain areas have only opened up to tourism relatively recently, in the past 15 years or so, most of the hotels are newly built but in a traditional style. More remote areas can also have slightly more basic facilitiers, but these are usually more than compensated for by the location.

On average, a lunch should cost no more than £3 and dinner up to £10 including drinks. The standard and quality of the restaurants is very good while still retaining a traditional ambience. In the more remote locations, it's amazing how the local people can prepare such delicious meals!

Following the National League for Democracy (NLD), Aung San Suu Kyi's political party, announcement that the full boycott of tourism to Burma should be lifted we are now advocating a return to Burma.
The decision to return has not been taken lightly, we have talked with various organisations and taken guidance from the Burma Campaign UK, the Free Burma campaign and Tourism Concern, all of whom have
also decided to lift their call for a full tourism boycott to the country. Although it is impossible to entirely avoid the government controlled infrastructure, we endeavour to use locally owned, private services.

Nearly all nationalities require a visa to enter Burma (Myanmar), and this must be obtained prior to departure. It is now possible to obtain a visa upon arrival however we strongly recommend against this as the authorities have been known to close this service with no advance notice.
