Backyard Travel, the online boutique tour operator specializing in insider tours throughout Asia, today announced an exciting new tour through Southern Myanmar. This new adventure traverses some of the country’s lesser-seen terrains, introducing travelers to the region’s cultural and historical treasures, and treating them to breathtaking scenery.

This four-day, three-night Dawei and Southern Myanmar tour begins in the city of Mawlamyine on Myanmar’s stunning Andaman coastline. Over the course of the trip, it winds its way down the coast to Thanbyuzayat, the terminus of the Death Railway, before heading to the picturesque town of Ye to explore temples and take in unspoiled mountain and river views. In Dawei, travelers will be immersed in local history, learning about the town’s colonial role and visiting prominent Buddhist sites. A visit to a local cashew farm and family pottery business provide further insight into this charming riverside town.

“Today’s travelers are seeking authentic and immersive travel experiences that give them an insider’s view of their destination,” says Trystan Trestchenkoff, General Manager of Backyard Travel. “We created this new tour around Dawei to introduce travelers to places still fairly untouched by tourists, and reinforce the fact that there are a lot of areas in Asia, especially in Myanmar, where you can go off the beaten track and explore rather than just ‘visit’.”
