Remote Villages of Myanmar's Chin State
This exploratory journey takes you to Myanmar's remote Chin State, west of Bagan, as well as many of the country's beautiful classic sights. The Chin State was cut off from the outside world for many years, but has had a cautious opening more recently. Infrastructure is still catching up so this is a trip for the adventurous traveller. The villages are remote and receive very few visitors and the surrounding landscapes are fantastic, including Myanmar's highest peak south of the Himalayas - Mt Victoria.

From mid-October to late February the weather is dry, warm and pleasant. However temperatures start to really shoot up in March and April, which can be uncomfortable if you are not used to the tropics. The southwest monsoon dominates from May to October, with coastal areas in particular seeing heavy rainfall for much of this period. On the plus side the whole country and its sights are quiet – no availability issues, traffic isn’t so bad and prices are softer.
