Myanmar Tours from India
India is a mix of various spiritual beliefs, great heritage in different styles, and crowds filled with tourist attractions. Myanmar, the Land of Golden Pagodas, has just opened its door to international tourism. From India to Myanmar, a direct flight is available, very convenient for your travel. To experience the simple and unspoiled local customs and enjoy a less-crowded trip, it is excellent to visit Myanmar now.
People here dress in traditional Burmese clothes. Women wear Thanaka to protect the face from sunburn. Most Burmese are devout Buddhists. And every man is expected to be a monk twice in his life, one as a novice and the other as an ordained monk. Except for the unique living and cultural traditions, you can expect its gorgeous Buddhist architecture such as Bagan's thousand-year-old temples and pagodas. Also, natural landscapes are amazing, for example the serene Inle Lake, the world’s longest teak footbridge U-Bein Bridge, and undamaged Ngapali beach, etc.

3. Can you go to Myanmar from India by road?
Yes, a road trip from India to Myanmar is possible. Firstly, apply for a Myanmar tourist eVisa before you start your road trip to Myanmar from India.
You can cross over from India to Myanmar via road from Imphal between Moreh (on the Indian side) and Tamu (on Myanmar’s side). It is advised to hire a Indian local taxi from Imphal till Moreh and then cross over to Tamu by walking. Upon your arrival in Tamu, you can take a local bus to the nearest major city of Mandalay.
Another border crossing between India and Myanmar is in Rihkhawdar. You start your road trip from Aizawl in Mizoram, cross the border and enter Rihkhawdar in Myanmar, and then catch a bus to Mandalay.
4. Is Indian rupee accepted in Myanmar?
In Myanmar, US Dollars are the most widely accepted foreign currency, mainly covering the large bills such as accommodation, overnight buses and tours. Therefore, you'd better exchange your Indian rupee to US Dollars. An official bank or private licensed exchange booths at places like Yangon and Mandalay airports is recommended for you to change money.
One thing to pay attention is that the dollars should be new and crisp, without any slightest damage, such as a minor crease. Otherwise, the Burmese might refuse your payment.
Besides US Dollars, you can also use Kyat in Burma, especially for the daily items like meals, bus tickets, trishaw or taxi rides, or bottles of water or beer.
5. Can you use credit cards in Myanmar?
Yes, you can use credit cars in Myanmar, and Visa and MasterCard are most normally used. But notice that only some places like the major hotels in big cities of Myanmar may accept payment by credit card, usually with heavy fees and less than the desired exchange rate. So you are advised to have a back-up plan just in case the credit card payment fails. For example, carry some cash or use ATMs in Myanmar.
Nowadays, you can see ATM machines in all major tourist cities like Yangon, Bagan, Inle Lake, Mandalay, Kalaw and Ngapali, airports, and some hotels. And you have a maximum withdrawal limit of 300,000 kyats, about $225USD.
6. How expensive is Myanmar?
You may find traveling in Myanmar is more expensive than in other Southeast Asia countries like Thailand or Cambodia. For example, as for the average budget, you will need around $50 per day to be comfortable. But, if you are a well-disciplined budget traveler, you should be able to fit in about $30 per day.
When you pay in US dollars, make sure they are new and crisp, without any slightest damage, such as a minor crease. Otherwise, there is a strong possibility of rejection.
To exchange money in Myanmar, you’d better go to an official bank and private licensed exchange booths at places like Yangon and Mandalay airports.
7. Is it safe to travel Burma?
The answer is positive. You may hear that civil conflicts in some parts of eastern and northern Myanmar are still going on. However, the conflict zones including Kachin and Shan States and Rakhine State are closed to tourists and far away from the main scenic areas. So it is secure to travel in Myanmar.
Furthermore, most Burmese are devout Buddhists and the strict Buddhism culture makes it a safe country to tour. Myanmar people are quite simple and honest. Stroll around the streets and lanes, and you will always be greeted with sincere smiles.
However, due to the different standards of hygiene, please pay attention not to drink tap water. Drink bottled water instead and choose clean restaurants for dining in case of an upset stomach.
