An exclusive Jeep tour across Chin State offered only by Discovery DMC. Be prepared for an adventure and the unexpected, simple lodging and dining. There is no tourism here yet, nor the facilities but it surely is a rewarding and awesome journey!
Chin State or Chin Hills Region as it was called during the colonial era is one of the most scenic regions in Myanmar. Travel to Chin State was restricted until a few years ago. There are still very few travelers who make their way here due to poor transport links and the road conditions remain poor. But this makes it the perfect terrain for 4WD Safaris. We use the latest 4WD vehicles available in Myanmar, our drivers are local professionals from the region and the best guys to tackle these roads. The scenery on this tour is absolutely beautiful, people are friendly and hospitable. Be prepared from a thrilling trip full of adventure and the unexpected!
