There are few countries in the world with the allure of Burma (Myanmar). Through years of isolation, it has managed to retain many of its cultural traditions and historical heritage. A visit to Burma is in many ways similar to a journey back in time, to an Asia from a bygone age.

| Brochure Notes | The decision to travel to Burma, or Myanmar is one that should not be taken lightly. Some would argue that traveling to a nation that has suffered from human rights abuses imposed by the ruling military junta would be a sign of approval of the government's actions by the international community. However, others argue that a travel boycott may not be the best means of affecting change within the country. G.A.P Adventures has made the decision to operate tours in Burma out of a belief that travellers should have an opportunity to experience this country first hand, meet its people and potentially return home as ambassadors for positive change. |
