Town of Mogok was founded more than 800 years ago. Mystery has always been surrounding the area which, for the most of time, was closed to the outsider. This is the very place where the best world’s rubies and sapphires have being mined for centuries altogether with other precious and semiprecious stones.

Only since recently Mogok has been opened to foreign visitors. Our company was among the first tour operators visiting Mogok on inspection trip. Now we are more than happy to propose you an exceptional tour to Mogok. It would be a perfect supplement to the classic itinerary in Myanmar or a unique travel experience on its own.

Your experienced guide will explain you the different kinds of gems and will tell you legends and superstitions about them. You will know which gem is related to your zodiac sign, oriental horoscope or traditional Burmese calendar. You will also learn about unique Mogok mosaic arts with granulated gems, will taste delicious local cuisine (Shan noodles, dry tofu, traditional soup soontang, pickled tea, steamed mushrooms, Mogok coffee, etc.), and will admire wonderful mountain landscapes of the area.
