Things to do
Myanmar isn't exactly bursting with opportunities
to get out and stretch your legs, and most lung-inflating
activity is still restricted by the government.
Out-of-town hiking is permitted in parts of Shan
State, and you can hire guides in Kalaw and Nyaungshwe.
You can make day-hikes to minority villages around
Kalaw and Pindaya, do some jungle hiking on the
island of Lampi Kyun or head uphill at Mt Kyaikto.
It's fine to bring your own bike into Myanmar
and cycle anywhere in the unrestricted areas.
The terrain is rough and unsuited to anything
but the sturdiest mountain bike, and parts are
very difficult to come by. You can hire Indian
and Chinese bikes in Mandalay.
Diving tours are almost non-existent. About
the only organised diving is around the Myeik
Archipelago - liveaboard cruises are run out of
Phuket and Kawthaung. Plenty of big-league diving
sites have been identifitied, and business should
be booming within the next couple of years. |
