Rakhine State 6 Days / 5 Nights –
in the old empire of Mrauk Oo

Yangon - Sittwe - Mrauk Oo - Sittwe - Yangon

One should be careful not to exaggerate, but this proves difficult with this trip. Because undoubtedly this trip "Rakhine state – in the old empire of Mrauk Oo“ is another highlight of our round-trip alternatives in Burma. Especially for visitors who are able to do without top-comfort. And of course also for those, who have visited this fascinating country before and would now like to make further new discoveries. Because still today, the visit of Rakhine (formerly Arakan), most western state on the Bengal Golf, is a fascinating pioneer trip. 

Years ago, SunBird organised the world wide first pioneer travel group to there. Several of the narrow passes of days passed have now been overcome. In Sittwe as well as in Mrauk Oo, respectable hotels can now be found, everything needed for basic comfort is available. However, convenient means of transportation are still missing: one travels very uncomfortably on the simple riverboats, one treks to the temples on foot and uses old buses – and occasionally horse carriages. In return: A Burma, which represents itself like it was 100 years ago, unadulterated, exotic, impressive and unforgettable. A suggestion for Asia-lovers, who seek the original.
