Rakhine - the Lost Kingdom Package

Package Overview

The region around Sittwe and Mrauk-U is still undeveloped for most aspects of tourism. This is essentially an adventure tour. We will endeavor to obtain the best available accommodations, transport and facilities for guests, but would ask their understanding for any practical aspects which do not come up to expectation, and for delays or changes in itinerary. It is not recommended to travel to this region during the monsoon season from June to September as heavy floods are common. Even though this region of Myanmar is not mountainous it gets cold at night during the winter months from November to February and warm clothes are required.
