Get There

Enjoy!

The only photography workshop tour that gives you full control and flexibility by providing the great workshops, and tours which include transport and like-minded photography travel pals. You just book your flights to get there. Then book the hotels of your choice where we will be travelling through, or use my recommendations.
 
Don't forget, you are also on holidays and may want some time for yourself. Apart from the workshops where we work and travel together, there is sufficient rest & recreation time included for your own thing. Or if you prefer, hang out with me for meals, drinks and company. Whatever you decide, is cool for me! The tour is designed to end in Mandalay where you can choose to extend your stay or travel further with your new friends and photography skills.
 
The Yangon - Mandalay photography workshop tour requires us to wake up rather early (oh god....!) and 2 sleepless nights. This is when we have the best light and less crowd. However, don't forget that you can always take a siesta during the day!
 
Needless to say, you'll get better deals for summer the earlier you book your flights and hotels.
