Urbane Nomads

Some of the tours come 2009 include a private jet tour covering Golden Triangle Thailand and Myanmar, before moving on to Putao, a remote north-eastern state in Myanmar that is notoriously difficult to get to due to the erratic flight schedule.
Putao is at the foot of the Himalayas, where the lush jungles of Myanmar meet with the climate and mountainscapes of the Himalayas. What this results in is a rich biodiversity that includes red pandas and clouded leopards. Home here too, are many tribes including the Lisu, Rawang and Naga as well as the world's only Mongoloid pygmies.
Guests will be staying in a luxury resort designed by Jean Michel Gathy of
Aman Resorts' fame.
Come July '09, there will be the Shandur Polo festival(the site of the
highest polo grounds in the world) in Pakistan. Guests will be travelling
around Kafiristan(where fairy-worshipping, black robed tribes in
elaborate head dresses with distinctive features and believed to be the
descendants of Alexander the Great are to be found), the photoshopped
landscapes of Chitral and Hunza, the most likely contender for the
original Shangri-la.
