If you love trekking and want an authentic experience of ethnic diversity in Myanmar then visiting the villages in the hills of Kengtung should definitely feature on your itinerary. The key to this is no doubt the guide and we were in excellent hands with the person who led us on our trail. He was able to help us engage with the people we met without us feeling like we were intruding on village life. We drank tea, tried on traditional costumes, laughed together and bought many bracelets and beads from the local people, who were always welcoming and genuine in their response to us. We came away feeling truly grateful for the opportunity to spend time with, and learn from these amazing people.
