Trekking in myanmar: shan country and the golden triangle
> Environment: mountain, city, countryside, lake, village
> Difficulty: easy to medium
> Recommended time of year : November to March
> Average duration : 15 days
Discovering Myanmar on a trek lets you get off the tourist routes to explore an authentic, welcoming country. To explore the Shan Country and hike in the Golden Triangle, allow at least 15 days. This trekking tour takes you from the archaeological sites of Bagan to Mandalay, passing through the floating gardens of Inle Lake.
After discovering the essentials, you can go on a trek in Shan State and Kengtung, in the Golden Triangle. Go and meet the villagers of the Lahu ethnic group during a nomadic trek lasting several days between rice fields and traditional hamlets. At 1000 metres above sea level, you'll get a good introduction to the Burmese mountains and local culture.
This trek through Myanmar is accessible to all levels and combines two unmissable regions of the country. Stages of less than 20 kilometres mean you can take time to enjoy the landscape while meeting the local ethnic groups.
