Important : The region around kyaiktyo is still undeveloped for most aspects of tourism. Travel will endeavor to obtain the best available accommodation, transport and facilities for guests, but would ask for their understanding for any practical aspects which do not come up to expectations and for delays or changes in itinerary. Due to road conditions it is not recommended to travel to this region during the monsoon season (June - September).
