Food tour specialist Globetrotting Gourmet has an upcoming six-day Christmas in Rangoon tour—hosted by cookbook author Robert Carmack and textile designer Morrison Polkinghorne—in the Burmese capital from December 23-28.

While staying at The Strand, a luxury hotel in the colonial quarter, you’ll explore the city’s Buddhist temples and landmarks—including the 2500-year-old gold-and-diamond-covered Shwedagon pagoda—see Edwardian architecture, and taste local beer and seafood. Prices start at US$2,495 (S$3,066). To get there, Myanmar Airways has direct flights priced from B12,170 (S$499) return and Jetstar Asia has direct flights from S$464 return.
