Join us on a motorcycle tour through the amazing Chin state hill region which is one of the scenic regions in Myanmar. Our tour kicks off in Mandalay from where we drive to Kalaymyo and head up to the hills. The roads here are being improved as we speak. So be prepared for all sorts of terrain from good to very bad.
