Three Treasures

Take a unique tour in Bagan, Myanmar with a unique company where the entire structure of the tour emphasizes an “un-tour” experience of sorts. The organization “offers tours in Bagan for independent-minded people who don’t usually hire a guide when traveling.” In addition to classic tours of the ruins, the company offers has an impressive list of crafts workshops and innovative tour products.

The organization emphasizes a tour model that improves local livelihoods — it offers once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences that support local communities in a way that is socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. Even more, Three Treasures is a social business working together with local communities in and around the protected monument zone to develop the capacity of local people to increase their benefits from the increasing numbers of tourists arriving each year. As a tourist, you can enjoy the following activities, among others:

• Bamboo crafting workshop
• Burmese cooking class
• Mountain biking
• Photography workshop
• Village walking tour
• Private boat tour
• Custom private and group tours of Bagan temples
