Please note that you must have a current passport.

Most people take a few days to adapt to a new, unfamiliar diet but Burmese food is not particularly spicy. You will all have had the necessary vaccinations for the trip but, as in all third-world countries, a high level of personal hygiene is essential. Bottled drinking water will be provided. Otherwise, look on the whole trip as a culinary adventure!
