Overview

Embark on an enriching 7-day "Myanmar Eco Tour" with Golden Trail Travel, a thoughtfully crafted journey designed for travelers who seek an authentic connection with nature, wildlife, and local cultures beyond the typical tourist trails. This immersive itinerary provides a perfect blend of Myanmar's diverse ecosystems, from significant wetlands to scenic highlands, allowing you to experience the country's natural beauty while engaging with its vibrant communities in a responsible and sustainable way. It's an ideal choice for eco-conscious adventurers looking for a memorable and impactful travel experience.

Your eco-adventure begins in Yangon, Myanmar's bustling former capital, where you'll get a taste of urban life before delving into nature. A full day is dedicated to exploring two crucial natural sites: Hlawga Wildlife Park and Moeyungyi Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary. Hlawga, easily accessible from the city, offers a glimpse into Myanmar's protected forest and lake habitats, where you can spot common woodland birds, deer, and perhaps even some reptiles. The highlight of the day is Moeyungyi, a designated Ramsar site, a vast and vibrant wetland ecosystem. Here, you'll be treated to a spectacular display of waterbirds, including numerous species of egrets, herons, storks, and migratory waterfowl (seasonal), providing fantastic opportunities for birdwatching and photography from observation towers and traditional boats.

From the lowlands, you'll take a domestic flight to Heho, the gateway to the picturesque Shan State. Your journey continues to Kalaw, a charming hill station, which serves as the starting point for an exhilarating two-day trekking adventure to Inle Lake. This immersive trek is a core component of the eco-tour, taking you through rolling hills, verdant farmlands, and traditional villages. You'll have the invaluable opportunity to interact with various hill tribe communities (such as the Pa-O and Danu), learning about their traditional farming practices, local customs, and way of life. Spending a night in a local village or monastery along the trekking route offers a truly authentic and humbling cultural immersion experience.

The trek culminates at the shores of the iconic Inle Lake, a sprawling freshwater body famous for its unique leg-rowing fishermen and floating gardens. Here, you'll explore the lake by traditional longtail boat, visiting the fascinating Indein village complex with its ancient pagodas and serene rural landscapes, continuing to observe the abundant wetland birdlife. Finally, a domestic flight brings you back to Yangon for your departure, leaving you with profound memories of Myanmar's natural wonders, its rich cultural tapestry, and the warmth of its people. Golden Trail Travel ensures all logistics, from comfortable transfers and domestic flights to experienced local guides and responsible community interactions, are seamlessly managed, allowing you to focus entirely on the transformative experiences this eco-tour offers
