Therefore, it is a good idea to exercise or jog regularly, preferably a few weeks before traveling at high altitudes. We recommend that guests consult their doctor before starting their trip, especially those who suffer from known heart, lung, or blood disorders.

"Unforgettable experience and Excellent service!"

Myanmar is a lovely country and I encourage everyone to visit it. They have some problems in some parts of the land but we were safe and enjoyed our trip. Our guide, Mingma was extremely knowledgeable, and nothing was too much trouble from him. It is a fantastic trip, and the travel between the places by plane or bus was punctual, well organized and left us as much time as possible in each location. Potala and Norbulingka place was one of the highlights, but there are so many places that are difficult to complete just one visit. The people are beautiful and super friendly; they could teach us a thing about how they live their lives.

Kishor at Nepal Tour & Trekking Service P. Ltd and his team will make you feel at home and enjoy the trip. I can only say thank you for all the attention the team offered. We will meet again in the future! Thank you once again, friends!
