Tamarind has created an exclusive For Her Tour. Our For Her Tour incorporates two of Burma 's most historical and stunning destinations-Mandalay and Bagan. In addition to exploring our most memorable sites, be prepared to be indulged with a pampering that will stimulate your senses, and satiate your appetite for precious moments.
Sight : The Temples of Bagan, with the famed Ayarwaddy River as her backdrop, rival any-and at sunrise and sunset, a hush envelops the area as you absorb the serenity that is difficult to describe-but ethereal immediately comes to mind……
Sound: To tantalize our sense of sound, we will listen to an evening of Burmese traditional music and dance that incorporates instruments that are not found anywhere else in the world.
Touch: We recognize that our guests arrive from all around the world-we want to ensure that you feel your best so once you have settled in-you will indulge in a luxurious spa treatment-that will melt away your inhibitions and leave you ready to tackle all that Burma has to offer.
Smell: “Old leaves shaken off the stems. The New Year's odors rise. The wind comes in puffs. Gangaw flowers spread their pollens. Fragrance everywhere” (The Twelve Seasons Poems by Phouthuto U Min) We will visit the evening flower market, where Burmese women vendors peddle fragrant and colorful fresh jasmine, yellow ginger lilies, and other exotic flora.
Taste: We will have the opportunity to indulge in traditional Burmese fare; which consists of a vegetable soup; salad, fish or meat curry, and rice. A staple for Burman's whose meals are typically shared-each person offering others at the table-samples from their home-cooked food.
Shopping: Tamarind recognizes that though not one of the five senses, shopping is therapeutic, and in Burma we posses unique gemstones-such as our world-renowned rubies, sapphires, jade and pearls. You will find jewelry vendors who incorporate these stones into both traditional and modern styles. Additionally, our laquerware is unequalled -and in Bagan we will observe the painstaking process of hand crafting laquerware. We will also visit a traditional silversmith where the tradition of creating silver products by hand is passed down from generation to generation. And finally, we will visit a tapestry workplace where attention to detail are paramount and the results are stunning.
