Myanmar is a large country with developing infrastructure. We are attempting to cover large distances in a short amount of time, so expect some long travel days as we travel between destinations.
While not strenuous, the full day of walking in Kalaw does require travellers to have a good general level of fitness and to bring appropriate footwear for walking in the countryside.
This trip gives you plenty of free time in each location, perfect for the traveller who appreciates a bit of independence. Choose to explore on your own, with your group members or join some of our Urban Adventures day tours on your free days.
Temperatures in Myanmar can be hot and humid year round. Check forecasts before you go and ensure you have suitable clothing and sun protection.

Intrepid is a wonderful company, and really the best possible way to see a country if you don't have the time or inclination to plan a vacation OR you don't know what to do but know you want to go somewhere. the guides are unbelievably competent and professional, and they know their stuff inside and out. I felt nothing but absolutely safe and the itinerary was perfect.
