The Thai Burma Railway has some 115km of its length within the (until recently) reclusive country of Myanmar.

Foreigner access to travel along the Railway was forbidden for any reason. Negotiations have been successful this year and permission was obtained for travel to inspect bridge, camp and construction sites of the wartime hell-project.

Travel in the area is an exploration and is for the adventurous, as the localities are not (yet ) tourist accessed. This tour provides the means to travel this isolated route.

It takes you on a pilgrimage where the opportunity to learn about and see first hand the locations where both tragedy and triumph took place in Burma affecting both prisoners of the Japanese and their enslaved Asian people.

The tourist sites of Myanmar are not forgotten in our programme, with visits to attraction and the colonial past of Yangon.
