Tours snapshot
Overview
Myanmar is emerging from decades of isolation, and as such, offers a unique opportunity for students to discover a country that remains untouched by western influence, and still has strong ties to its traditional cultural roots. Myanmar school tours will benefit students across all fields of study, from Yangon with its charming colonial architecture, and Bagan for ancient archeology (Bagan is notably home to 2,200 sacred temples remaining from the 13th century). Students will have the opportunity to take kayaking and hiking excursions, as well as make a pilgrimage the country’s most sacred site. An educational tour in Myanmar offers insight into Burmese culture and society while learning about the historical context of the country, and taking in awe-inspiring sights.
