A real adventure experience
We began in Burma. The unique Pandaw river expedition concept evolved here from the vestiges
of the colonial Irrawaddy Flotilla Company. Our ships were built here and in Burma we learn to
master river navigation at its worst. These lessons were applied to the other rivers of Asia.
Burma, after 1987 renamed by the regime Myanmar, is the largest mainland South-East Asian
country and with the greatest variety of scenery from Himalayan peaks to tropical beaches. We
have yet to meet a visitor to Burma who does not feel that this is the most beautiful, friendly and
culturally interesting Asian country ever visited.
Most of the population live in three great river valleys encircled by impenetrable horseshoes of
mountains. River life dominates the country and still to this day forms the main system of
transportation, irrigation and from its rich fishing grounds the principal protein source for the
majority of the population.
In the great Chindwin, Irrawaddy and Salween valleys two millennial of Buddhist art, architecture
and archaeology survive, including of course the 3000 standing monuments at Pagan. There is
no other Asian country with so vast and varied a range of cultural sites. Almost everywhere there
are temples and monasteries, festivals and ceremonies. The Burmese are a deeply pious people
and Buddhist activities dominate every aspect of life.
The Burmese are a very warm and friendly people who since Independence in 1947 have
suffered terrible impoverishment and deprivation. We do our best to support the local domestic
economy and make sure our suppliers and contractors are small local businesses. We are very
careful to make sure our clients’ money falls into the right hands. Sanctions and the politically
correct refusal of most NGOs and international charities to work in the country has served to
exacerbate deprivation and entrench the regime further.
Our Pandaw passengers believe that by visiting Burma we are doing something to help as has
been proved by the many schools our passengers have built, not to mention the outstanding
contribution made by our passengers after Cyclone Nargis struck in 2008. Most of the Burmese
our passengers encounter tend to agree with this assumption. These cruises are the most
