Myanmar is known for its gilded Buddhist pagodas, ancient cities, breathtaking landscapes, lakes of serenity, remarkably intact traditional ways and its beautiful people. Myanmar is a country unlike any other. It’s said, you must come here with an open mind and you’ll leave with a full heart. We help you explore it safely like no one else can.

Tucked away in a tiny valley in Manipur, a northeastern state of India, Imphal is one of the few places in India where nothing seems to have changed. The least explored, most mysterious and arguably the most beautiful region of India, was all but sealed off from the outside world until relatively recently. It is the gateway we use to enter Myanmar.

Staying away from the cities, we explore a relatively untouched land where the locals welcome the unusual site of foreigners travelling through their villages on motorbikes. Experienced guides will escort you safely through magical Myanmar with a full support crew including mechanics to ensure that you have the best 10 days of your life.

1
DAY 1: DELHI to IMPHAL

Catch a connecting flight to Imphal where a Himalayan Heroes representative will transport you to the hotel. Make sure you have something warm to wear as it can get a bit chilly in January.

DAY 2: THE BORDER CROSSING
IMPHAL TO TAMU (115 Kms – 4-5 hours)

We head to the Indo – Myanmar Friendship Road through some glorious twisty mountain roads. We cross the border into Tamu and spend the night in a guest house.

DAY 3: BORDER RUN
TAMU TO KALE (140 Kms – 5 hours)

An easy but scenic ride along the border through the valley on the way to Kale. Situated on the Tropic of Cancer and with a population of more than 400,000 people it is one of the fastest developing towns of Myanmar.

DAY 4: HIDDEN VALLEY
KALE TO GANGAW (150 Kms – 5-6 hours)

We continue south through the valley, alongside a river, on mostly unsealed roads until we get to the small village of Gangwa.

DAY 5: ALONGTAW KASSAPA
GANGAW TO MONYWA (200 Kms – 6-7 hours)

As we head to Monywa, we cross the largest national park in the country – Alongtaw Kassapa. The park is home to numerous wildlife species, including a small population of wild Asian elephants, thamin, clouded leopard, jungle cats, Himalayan brown bear, Oriental giant squirrel, monitor lizards, macaques and barking deer.

DAY 6: LETS EXPLORE
A DAY TO EXPLORE THE SURROUNDINGS

It is possible we ride to Mandalay for the day before returning to Monywa for the night. This major gateway in Northern Myanmar is worth at least a day tour to see the Mandalay Fort, the last royal palace of the last Burmese monarchy, and some of the country’s most sacred Buddhist sites including the Mahamuni Buddha Temple and Mandalay Hill.

MONYWA TO KALE (240 Kms – 7-8 hours)
