Teen Tours in Burma


2011 Summer Programs

Ancient temples dot the plains of the Irrawaddy River, and evening light reflects off the beautiful thanaka-painted faces of women as they fetch water from the local well. Undisturbed by foreigners, life in Burma remains as it has for centuries. It is a world apart from anything you can imagine – a photographer’s paradise and adventure traveler’s haven.

Tourism is slowly opening doors into Burma’s fascinating culture that have been closed for many years. Travel ‘Off the Map’ with the Chairman of Rustic Pathways, who spends many of his holidays exploring the remote back roads of Burma. Hone your skills amid Bagan’s ancient temples on Frontier Photography. Discover the stunning ‘land of a million rice fields’ during the Golden Triangle Adventure. Whichever journey you choose, Burma will tantalize your senses, and the gentle and welcoming Burmese people will eagerly share their lives with you.
