About this trip

 

Mogok is a world's best quality rubies production centre in Myanmar  (Burma). This region is very hilly and situated in high altitude. Hill  ethnic tribes and Burmese are major residents who are mainly working for  mining, gems cutting, polishing, gemstones searching, tea leaf growing  and so forth. Mogok is also land of producing other precious gems like  sapphires (yellow, white, purple and star), spinel crystal, peridot,  topaz, moon stone, garnet, blue marble, zircon, pleonaste, scapolite and others.

 It was major gems production site during the reign of British. Hence,  some British style houses & buildings, cemetery can be found at down  town areas & outside. 




We have to apply permission to the regional government to visit to this ruby and gems land. Hence, if you are interested and planning to visit there, you should contact me at lest three weeks before the tour date. Permission takes about 8 days.
