Myanmar has over 100 discretely separate indigenous communities, each with its own rich tradition of handicrafts. Our tour provides a diverse exposure to the wide variety of authentic traditional products, whose contemporary manufacture enables these indigenous communities a needed source of revenue to sustain their culture and traditions. Purchases made here directly serve to sustain these communities. Burmese craftsmanship has long been recognized as one of the world’s great aesthetic traditions.
