One of the best things to do in Myanmar travel tour is to see some the locals while you are wandering around your homesteads or churches, enjoying the tranquil rural areas.
 

The town  of Mindat with its local culture

Mindat is larger than Kanpetlet and you should spend around five hours going to the north to reach it. You will see many people of Dai, Ya and Upu tribes living in Mindat as well as nearby regions. There are older women whose faces are full of tattoos, which helps to differentiate them from other tribes. This practice is no longer allowed by the government, but you can still see some tattoos on the young.

There are traditions dating back to years ago and their origins lost in facing the test of the time. The mentioned above tradition is still be kept due to several reasons. For example, this acts as a protection against Burmese kings’ arrests or kidnaps because tattoos can cover the beauty of tribal ladies. Whatever happens, this tradition is a combination between animist traditions in Chin State and Christianity because a lot of local people believe that they are Christians who have to go to church on Sundays. You are advised to join them during your tours in Myanmar.
 

 Chin State’s several areas are residences of the elderly just using their local language, the Burmese. However,  as a result of the influential Christianity, their command of  English has improved a lot. If these people see you and think of you as foreigners, they will give you this question first, ‘Do you follow the Christianity?’. With regard to only Mindat, 10 churches can be found, ranging from Baptist, Presbyterian, to Pentecostal, Baptist and this will make Burma tours memorable.
