Adventure travel Myanmar are

mainly adventure travel tours into the Myanmar Himalayas, into the Myeik or Mergui archipelago or to the remote places of north west Myanmar near the border to India where Myanmar Naga and Myanmar Chin have their villages.

The good old Myanmar outdoor vacation has evolved into Myanmar adventure travel, Myanmar ecotourism, Myanmar nature-based travel and so on. It means old stuff, new marketing.

Spending time in a natural Myanmar outdoor setting or participate in adventurous activities in Myanmar is not a new idea, its going on since at least when the English started to conquer Myanmar and brought with them scientists, botanists and many adventurer, that means only the names have changed and some ethics involving Myanmar outdoor travel have been changed. Nevertheless, the creative marketing power behind private tourism groups and travel agents has pushed Myanmar outdoor recreation into the consumer consciousness as new and improved "adventure travel" and "ecotourism".

The many facets of Myanmar adventure travel including the dynamics of the adventure travel market in Asia, the motivations for Myanmar adventure travel, beside of the continuous requests from different groups not to travel Myanmar.

The providers of Myanmar adventure experiences, like Myanmar Explore, run by a skillful Japanese guy follow the realities of adventure

travel. People take Myanmar adventure travel vacations for fun and entertainment and to get away from the stress of work and the tedium of daily life. The desire to do something healthy or to add to one's self-image also may be motivating factors. Myanmar adventure travel vacations often include all of these travel motivations, but thrill seeking plays a unique and important role.

The activities of Myanmar adventure travelers are as broad as the imagination allows. Virtually anything that is done outside conceivably might be part of an Myanmar adventure travel vacation.

Activities on land, like exploring the old temple and pagoda city of Bagan, where you get a feeling to be Indiana Jones , on water, like on a leg rower tour on Lake Inle, in the pristine waters of the Myeik or Mergui archipelago or in the air, like hot air ballooning in Bagan provide things to see and do for nature-based travelers.

Myanmar Ecotourism activities on your Myanmar adventure trip are often a combination of low impact outdoor recreation activities and intense educational experiences in natural history and ecology. Some ecotourism includes service projects designed to benefit the environment being visited.

Sometimes a distinction is made between "hard" and "soft" Myanmar adventure travel. Soft Myanmar adventure travel are those with low levels of risk usually sold by a tour operator to different kinds of groups. These Myanmar adventure travel are usually suitable for family involvement and offer an introduction to new and unique activities. Examples might be whitewater rafting or hot air ballooning with a commercial outfitter.

By contrast, hard Myanmar travel adventures require real skills in dangerous situations and the target is mostly climbing and trekking the Myanmar Himalayas. Participants usually join together because of an intense interest in some activity outside the confines of commercial interests. Examples might be a climb in the Myanmar Himalayas, rafting wild rivers of the Myanmar Himalayas or exploring the Myeik or Mergui archipelago in southern Myanmar.

From elephant trekking in the Myanmar jungle, camping on the Myanmar Islands, whitewater rafting in the Myanmar Himalayas, outdoor recreation activities are nearly numberless.

The idea of Myanmar adventure travel or Myanmar ecotourism vacations is certainly somehow romantic since in most places in Myanmar no foreigners have been there since British colonial times. Images of exotic locations, great weather, emerald waters of the Andaman Sea, liveaboard scuba diving trips cross the mind.

Myanmar's exotic locations are not so far away and not difficult to get to. Due to the division in monsoon time and off monsoon time the weather in Myanmar is usually very predictable.

Extremes in cold, heat, and especially rain can bring discomfort and misery to many vacationers, but is very predictable due to the well known weather patterns in Myanmar. It is useful to make a good travel insurance since exciting activities can be turned by injury or sickness into tough situations.

Most Myanmar adventure travel activities require no specialized gear as you can see it in the pictures here. A good lightweight rucksack filled with what someone needs for the period of time, photo and video equipment are basics, let the Myanmar adventure travel agent do the rest, they know how to handle the Myanmar environment and you pay for it, they will take care of you. The only thing you should bring with you is a very good filled wallet and some basic good health conditions to make sure that you don't collapse after a few few hours trekking.

Actually on certain places like Kyaiktyio they even take care of this completely, if you cant handle to walk the steep road up to summit of the Kyaiktyio Pagoda Complex, they carry you up in the sedan. 4 guys usually do a good job to lift you up. it costs some money but you have a lot of fun, so what ?

A major issue in ecotourism, adventure holidays and adventure travel is that of sustainable development. Whether this relationship develops in a good way for everyone is a matter of debate, but the theory that nature-based tourism ought to be developed in a way so that the natural and cultural environment will endure is intuitively appealing.

In the rural and developing areas of Myanmar, nature-based tourism provide an important economic support. Myanmar adventure travel function many times as the only economic sector to get real cash to the people in this Myanmar regions. Since Myanmar Tourism is labor intensive and creates a high numbers of small businesses, it can be an excellent economic development tool. Rural and developing areas often contain the best settings for Myanmar adventure travel and Myanmar ecotourism.

The Myanmar tour operators and outdoor specialists for your adventure vacation are equally important to adventure travel and ecotourism operators' success. Specialized adventure skills and ecological knowledge such as whitewater rafting, bird watching, do the right trekking path.

All forms of nature-based Myanmar adventure travel and tourism are booming even beside all of this political problems brought in mainly by the US and England, that means -among others- Myanmar is a Credit Card free country only dollars and euro in cash are accepted, don't take other stuff with you, they don't want it or change it only to a very unfavorable exchange rate. The best is take lots of small dollar bills with you and before you travel upcountry go to the Bogyoke Market in Yangon to change enough dollars into kyats, you cant change money upcountry, unless for very unfavorable rates.

A good place to start your Myanmar adventure travel is Yangon (once called Rangoon), which assimilates you into Myanmar's every day life, one of this is no or very limited electricity.

Don't use the train unless you are a masochist. Some days in Yangon can acclimate you to the strange sights and sounds of  Myanmar and prepare you for your  Myanmar adventure travel. One thing you should know is that crimes against tourists are almost not existent. Taxi drivers are honest if you negotiate the price first and you can eat almost anything that's been cooked or peeled, have a overall look on the place if its a clean environment. If you go on a trekking tour over some days the tour operator will bring the necessary infrastructure including food with. Drink only bottled water and avoid ice. Listen to the the natives when they tell you shouldn't do certain things.

The best time to visit Myanmar is November through April, before the monsoons in June, July, August and September.

Around 30 different Chin tribes form a very interesting environment , just the right  adventure experience.

Chin State bordering India is one of the least developed in Myanmar, it makes it very interesting for an hiking and travel adventure trip, since this is are real adventure days.

The topology is very rough, almost no infrastructure, no electricity and most of the people walk over unpaved and muddy road when they have to go somewhere. Looks like a paradise for some greenies.

This Myanmar adventure tour also let you explore the borders area with Bangladesh and India at the west and Myanmar’s  Rakhine state at the south, Myanmar’s Magwe and Sagaing divisons are at the eastern front. Mountain,  Hills, deep valleys and no plains or plateaus are visible.

Elevation is up to 3100 m at Nat Ma Taung or Mount Victoria in southern part of Chin state. The border can only be crossed by local people, no way to go through by foreigners.

All rivers in Myanmar Chin State are full of rapids with very strong currents navigable by small boats only, a real adventure river cruise.

Reh Lake near the Indian border can be accessed from Falam by a four wheel drive off-road vehicle only.

Myanmar nature is shows typical factors that motivate people to take the adventure travel tour to the remote areas of our planet.

A typical destination of adventure travel Myanmar are the Myanmar Chin people they have their villages in Chin State. One branch of the Chin tribe are the Naga, they have great tribal tattoo as you can see in the pictures including scull tattoo's.

There is no need for any special adventure gear or adventure tourism fashion gears at a Myanmar adventure travel tour just the usual backpacking stuff, the other will be supplied by your guides or local tour operator. If you want to go on a Himalaya adventure tour it naturally needs some more extra adventure gear for this get in touch with. 

People are asking why is travel and adventure important, the answer is it expands your mind, to see totally different things with your own eyes is a very educational process, not this half hour stuff from the TV screen with some commercials in between. This might produce some nice pictures, but this is flat one dimensional experience.

Discovering the Myanmar jungle or do a Himalaya adventure tour, maybe a wild bird adventure travel tour in the upper reaches of Myanmar's Kachin state or just a simple trekking tour in the Myanmar wilderness, interior adventures Nagaland and have a look for Nagaland sexy girls this are kinds of topology of adventure tourism activity.

There is no need to consider eating ethics in Myanmar to much just look how the others are doing it and follow.

A other great Myanmar outdoor and adventure destination is Myanmar Nagaland.

The Myanmar Naga consist as  4 main tribes and 49 clans.

They have their villages around the source of the Chindwin River up to the Indian border and into India.

Naga are very proud people, men wear headgears with tiger tusks, wild bears teeth, bear fur, birds feather and human hairs.
The women wear very light dresses and tattoo their foreheads and chins.

The Naga New Year Festival is the biggest celebration in Nagaland and a great Myanmar adventure trip, many tribes, clans and some tourists join for singing, dancing and other activities. The male dances are remember Kung Fu style.

The Myanmar Naga are separated to the Indian Naga by a border the British defined during colonial times, now there is constant trouble in the area because of this British legacy. As in many other places on this planet, the Brits did a lot of foolish things, after they run away and left the mess to be cleaned up by the others.
