The Mekong is a trans-boundary waterway which flows for 3,050 miles through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Despite only being Asia’s seventh longest river, it is one of the most biologically diverse in the world – second only to the Amazon. From floating markets to traditional sampans, it is truly fascinating to see how locals live in peaceful union with one of nature’s most plentiful sources.

The Irrawaddy River The Irrawaddy River cuts a peaceful path through central Myanmar for around 1,300 miles from its glacial origins in the Himalayas to the Andaman Sea. Experience tranquil pleasures, visionary landmarks and age-old traditions nuzzle the water’s edge, and locals make the most of the river as means of transport and life-giver.
