Myanmar's villages and rural areas are fascinating to visit and provide a chance to give something back while you travel. By visiting communities, you will see traditional ways of life and have the chance to interact with local people, experiencing their daily routines and learning about their culture. A number of small-scale tourism initiatives exist in Myanmar that are set up to directly benefit the communities where they are located. From hiking and kayaking, to wildlife watching, to immersion in local life and culture, these are wonderful experiences which also benefit communities.
