What to wear?
We recommend to take some warm clothes for the road, because in some parts of the country mornings and evenings can be bit cold. It is also a good idea to take quality shoes for driving. The locals drive usually with flip flops but good boots feel so much safer. During the day it usually gets so warm that wearing a t-shirt is just enough. For the dustier parts we recommend to take some kind of cloth to hide your mouth and nose from the flying dry dust, some times there is a lot of it.

What are your tours like?
We want to give people the best of Myanmar, with the coolest way of transportation. Our tours are carefully planned so that the driving hours per day are not too long and the roads are possible to drive. We take travellers to the highlight points around Myanmar, but also drive some back roads to show some rarely visited spots. We listen to customers wishes and hopes about the tour itinerary and make sure that everyone will leave our adventures with big smile on their faces. We have long co-operation with the best tour guides in the country and years of experience organizing adventure tours around Myanmar.
Mostly is all about the feeling of freedom while driving trough beautiful mountain roads passing small villages and friendly people. At some more rural places the accommodation might be quite simple but we always take our customers to best place available. Overall by driving motorbikes you will see more of the country, get closer to locals and have chance to take some dirt roads to go places that would out othervise be unreachable.
Are your tours in English?
Yes, as a rule we hire English speaking guides. Should you wish to have other language speaking guides, a request in advance is required and is subject to availability.
