5. WHY CHOOSE MYANMAR TRAVEL FOR YOUR PRIVATE TOUR?

Myanmar Travel has designed private journeys across the country for more than 20 years. Every itinerary on this page is a starting template, not a fixed package – our local travel consultants work with you directly to shape the route, pace, and level of comfort around your interests.

• 20+ years of local expertise across every region of Myanmar
• Private guide and vehicle for every journey – no shared groups
• Access beyond the tourist trail, including local communities and hidden sites not available on group tours
• Undivided attention from a personal guide passionate about sharing Myanmar’s culture and history

Expert Note:“What makes a private tour different,” explains guide Mr. Aung, “is that we can change the plan on the spot. If a family falls in love with a village market, we simply stay longer.”

Choosing a tailor-made private tour with Myanmar Travel means every detail – from the route to the pace to the small moments in between –  is shaped around you, not the other way around.

6. ESSENTIAL MYANMAR TRAVEL ADVICE & SAFETY FOR 2026

Myanmar remains a rewarding destination for travelers who plan carefully and travel with a licensed, reputable local agency.

• Where it’s safe to travel: The main tourist circuit – Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, and Inle Lake – are considered established, well-monitored “green zones” for visitors, with reliable infrastructure and a strong tourism presence. Some remote border regions experience periodic conflict and are avoided entirely on our itineraries.
• Travel with a licensed operator: Always book through a registered agency using licensed, government-accredited guides. Some regions require a travel permit, which your operator arranges on your behalf.
• Visa requirements: Most nationalities require a visa to enter Myanmar. The most convenient route for short-stay tourism is Myanmar’s official E-Visa Portal, which allows you to apply online before departure. Check current eligibility and processing times directly on the government’s official e-visa site before booking flights.
• Currency: Myanmar’s local currency is the Kyat (MMK). US dollars in clean, unmarked condition are widely accepted for larger payments such as tours and hotels, but it’s worth carrying some Kyat for markets and small vendors.
• Stay informed: Before you travel, check the latest guidance from Myanmar’s Ministry of Hotels and Tourism and your home country’s foreign travel advisory, both of which are updated as regional conditions change.
