Undiscovered Northern Burma with Mountain Kingdoms

Become one of the first Westerners to experience the pristine landscape of northern Burma on two new trips to this little explored region.

Voted top country 2013 by readers of 'Wanderlust' magazine, Burma has become a must-see destination for discerning travellers. Independent tour operator Mountain Kingdoms has created the ultimate off the beaten track adventures in northern Burma, far from the tourist hot-spots of Mandalay and Rangoon.
