Myanmar Teen Travel Programs

Even though Rustic Pathways started full-time operations in Myanmar in 2002, the country has only recently opened to general tourists, which means its spectacular beauty is still largely untouched. All of our Myanmar program managers are native Burmese, enabling us to take students off the increasingly popular tourist track and into the villages and homes of their family and friends. Note: Rustic Pathways does not currently operate teen travel programs in Mongolia.

Chit Oo, Myanmar Country Director

“Myanmar is often described as the Golden Land because of its richness in natural resources and glittering pagodas. It’s filled with many unique cultures and generous people, as more than 135 ethnic groups call this country home. I love introducing our unique and fascinating culture to students who visit Myanmar with Rustic.”

— Chit Oo, Myanmar Country Director

Hailing from Kengtung in eastern Shan State, Chit Oo has been an integral member of Rustic’s Myanmar team since 2009. With a degree in geography from Kengtung University, he enjoys sharing his Shan culture and stories of colorful Hill Tribe people with our students. Chit Oo has mastered English, Burmese, and Thai, and loves practicing his photography during programs.

  • Each program has at least one leader with 3+ years of field experience

When something happens:

  • 8 minutes to full crisis team activation
  • 27 minutes average to parent notification
  • Updates every 3 hours during active situations
