- Adventure in Myanmar can be experienced as

adventure travel tours to the Myanmar Himalayas in the north of Myanmar, into the Mergui archipelago off southern Myanmar or to the remote areas close to the north west borders of Myanmar near India where Myanmar Naga and Myanmar Chin have their settlements.

The good old Myanmar outdoor vacation with stylish English colonial flair has morphed into Myanmar adventure travel, Myanmar ecotourism, Myanmar nature-based travel and so on. It means old stuff, little modernized and with  new marketing.

Spending time in the great Myanmar outdoors or participate in adventurous activities is not a new idea, its going on since at least when the English started to conquer Myanmar and brought with them a couple of real adventurer, that means some names and ethics have changed and nevertheless, the creative marketing potential behind private Myanmar tourism groups and travel agents has moved Myanmar outdoor recreation adventure tours into the consumer consciousness as improved adventure travel and ecotourism. Myanmar adventure travel could be also enjoyed by a scuba diving trip on a yacht via live aboard.

Myanmar adventure travel is fed by the dynamics of the adventure travel and tour market in many  Asian countries. The motivations and request for Myanmar adventure travel and tours is still on and growing, beside of continuous campaigns from different groups not to travel to Myanmar.

The providers of Myanmar adventure tours in the Myanmar Himalayas, like Myanmar Explore, run by a skillful Japanese guy following the realities of

 

adventure tours. The consumer like it and this is the only parameter which counts, we don't need this self installed "gutmenschen" who always want to tell the other what they should do, with this crazy philosophy whole eastern Europe collapsed, the people are old enough to know what they want and should do.

On a adventure trip in Myanmar you can travel anywhere beside of some off limit areas closed down because under military control. Areas which are closed for everyone are in any country on this planet, so its useless to blame the Myanmar for.

- Several Myanmar adventure tours are possible,

on your Myanmar holiday adventure.You could explore the high mountains and deep valleys of the Myanmar Himalayas via a trekking tour.

The best way to do such adventure excursions is by a guided adventure tours within a adventure vacation package. You should try to understand that this is mountain jungle wilderness, there are no hotels, no accommodations etc., in Myanmar guided adventure tours need experienced tour guides.

Not for the purpose to command you around or to tell you this and that but to be on the watch out to keep trouble away from you. Also don't believe if anyone tells you there are people from the secret service around you, this is pure nonsense bad gossip.

On a adventure trekking tour in Myanmar you can cross rivers and have a close encounter with wild animals like snakes and bigger , in some remote areas also tigers and all kind of mammals.

Myanmar tigers are huge cats usually bigger than any other tiger on the planet -no joke- and are hunted by tiger poachers for its huge size and because of this unmatched amounts of bones provided.

Every poacher like the Myanmar tigers because of this amount of tiger bones, plus the very attractive tiger skin. Chinese make all kind of medicine out of tiger bones.

But the real problem out there on adventure holidays in the Myanmar wilderness are the snakes. Myanmar has the highest mortality on snakebites in the world.

If you are out alone and disaster strikes you are gone, so its better to go within a adventure tour package.

The Myanmar adventure travel agents also set up the tent, cook your food and get you up when you fall in the snow or river on your trekking adventure trip.

are the Islands in the Andaman Sea, or rather the Mergui or Myeik Archipelago, living on the houseboat or in the beach hut. Not much has changes since the early days in the 17.th. century when the Portuguese adventurer De Brito sailed this island world of the Mergui Archipelago with the idea to get rich quick.

After came the British colonialists and conquered Myanmar or Burma all the way from the Indian border to the very south at Victoria point, today Kawthaung

In between was the almost ancient harbor of Mergui and the Islands of the Andaman Sea, today the right place for great adventure excursions on the cost and on the islands plus deep into the deep blue via live aboard scuba diving adventure.

This kind of adventure travel is done out of Phuket, Thailand with comfortable yachts, this scuba adventure travel packages are not cheap stuff at all but good things are never cheep.  

The best way to explore the Mergui archipelago during a adventure trip on your vacation is to come down from Yangon with the airplane, there are several airlines offering flights out of Yangon.

This are Yangon Air, Air Bagan and Myanma Airways , Myanma Airways is the state owned airline and the name is really written without the -r- at the end.

The aircrafts usually use Dawai or Tavoi further north and Mergui or Myeik as a stopover on their way down to Kawthaung, the southernmost town in Myanmar or Burma.

It would be also possible to enter Kawthaung vie Ranong in Thailand, but the visa the Myanmar immigration issues there is only valid for Kawthaung and vicinity.

For the rest of the country it needs the official visa application via a Myanmar consulate for your adventure travels.

For Myanmar travel adventure in the traditional South Seas style of the 18 th. and 19, th. Century is here and in real time, no need to go further than to the Mergui Archipelago.

Mergui has seen many pirates, local and foreigners, Portuguese marauders, British colonialists, Chinese and Indian trader it went up and down over the centuries.

A great book on this subject is Siamese White from Maurice Collis, you can find the book here. Its not available anywhere anymore except here.

Actually if you want to understand at least a little bit of the environment on your adventure tour to the Islands of the Andaman Sea you should have a look into our e-books.

The first is Siamese White by Maurice Collis and the other is -our own production- Islands of the Andaman Sea, available in English and German.

We priced the e-books very low, so everyone can afford to get them via a simple download procedure without any problems.

Mergui was a port of Siam or today Thailand, but after the declaration of war upon Siam by the British East India Company it was annexed to British Burma and remained there.

On the islands jungle is still all around, fish traps are kept and the Salone, Moken or Sea Gypsies live on their house boats like they did since hundreds of years.

A Typical diet on your adventure tour in the archipelago would be, naturally seafood, fish-paste, chicken and pork curries. During the rainy season the  hunt is on in the forest.

Boa constrictor, monitor lizard and wild boar is on the menu. Boa tastes like tuna, so its rather familiar.  When rice is not available, wild yam is eaten.

Salones like dancing and music.

Their traditional drum is stretched with monitor lizard’s skin. When used with male monitor lizard’s skin it is called male drum; when used with female monitor lizard’s skin, female drum.

On your Myanmar adventure vacation trip you would have no nightlife but some great beach parties, take some beer and whisky with you, this would also be a perfect present to the people who let you stay in their beach hut. You could also take some camping gear with you, but its not recommended.

Most of Salones or Moken as they are called in Thailand still prefer to live on their boats, usually on a houseboat, also dugouts are used, and enjoy the independent live as “Sea Gypsies”.

Some have been settled in the Myeik / Mergui and Kawthaung district. A few settlement are on some islands off the west coast of Thailand, one is in Phuket at Rawai beach.

everyone has the picture of shining pagodas, the great Ayeyarwady or Irrawaddy river, Mandalay, Inle Lake etc. in mind.

Who thinks about Myanmar adventure by exploring the tribes in the remote areas towards the Myanmar border with India.They are the Chin, Naga and other who could be just have been imported from south America and Africa with great festivals and all kind of rich decoration and headgear with feathers, tiger claws and other exotic items to adorn the body.

Myanmar tribe culture is characterized by totally different social values and traditions. Traditions usually center around ghosts and daemons, animism in pure, Buddhism has not reached here. The Myanmar or Burmese tribe culture is full of a wide variety of languages as well, every sub tribe of the Chin and Naga e.g. speaks a different language and there are about 130 different ethnic minorities all over Myanmar or Burma, its sometimes a real Babylonian diversity.

Just the right adventure travel destination, you could be sure to be one of the very few persons to have made it all the way and you can expect a great adventure experience, e.g. go hunting with a Chin warrior.

Since the topology around  Myanmar Chin state and Myanmar Naga land is very rough, almost no roads for cars, no infrastructure and the Chin and Naga walk over unpaved road when they have to go somewhere. Myanmar walking adventure or trekking adventure would be for sure.

It would also be a very lively experience for all the warrior of the green movement, there they can experience in real time how it is when there are no cars and roads. To see and experience the modern adventure instead of doing bla bla, blogging the internet and see it on the TV would be a very educational adventure experience, check it out. The people living together and are much more interconnected as our western society. If someone is after a real adventure travel experience, no need to look further have a trip to Myanmar Chin State and experience the pure life, its hard, its strange and its difficult to understand. The best would be to use the right Adventure Tour Myanmar travel agent like Myanmar Explore.They are the right guys to handle this, the boss is a Japanese and most employees are from Chin State and Naga.
