Burma
While some of its neighbours are mainstays of newspaper travel supplements, Burma remains a secret, an intriguing mystery. No wonder, then, a journey here is so full of surprises. Compelling, enchanting sights abound: the one-leg rowing and floating markets of the Intha people; Rangoon's atmospheric colonial architecture; and Pagan's extraordinary collection of thousands of Buddhist temples, surely a dark horse in the stakes for the region's greatest sight. But, for a country with such a troubling political situation, perhaps the biggest surprise is Burma's people. The genuine welcome and gregarious warmth visitors receive is humbling. Come and discover the people and their land while it's still a secret.

Burma Unveiled
Peter - Australia, 29 Jan, 2012
Despite the conditions under which the people live, I have never been in a country where the people seem so happy, scrupulously honest and optimistic for their future. I felt completely safe in Burma.

Burma (or Myanmar as it is known locally) is a fascinating country and particularly at this point in history where they are on the brink of change. I am very pleased I got to travel there whilst it is relatively uncommon to visit and is not swamped by backpackers. There were more tour groups from all over the world than I had thought there would be, but all groups seemed to cater for the more mature and discerning traveller, just as the Peregrine tour did. Don't wait too long before you go - this is a fascinating part of Asia! I will certainly be going back.

"It is a MUST!!!! and take lots of things to give away to the local population. This was my 3rd Peregrine trip and Win our guide was the best. The hotels were some of the best I have stayed in. Overall I thought this trip was excellent, not a thing went wrong and it was great value for money. I think Mynamar is a very good tourist destination.
