Myanmar, once closed off by dictatorship, now reveals its stunning landscapes, including the rare giraffe women, living freely in their villages. Some have turned to tourism for income. Recently, the government allowed foreigners to explore the North. Ko Soe Moe, a tour guide, is pioneering a new tourist route from Mandalay to Rid Hill Lake, facing the challenges of monsoon-flooded roads. He discovers a semi-free elephant reserve and a crude oil camp, highlighting the resourcefulness in remote areas. In Kalé Myo, time seems frozen, with WWII trucks still in use, alongside handcrafted jeeps, a testament to local ingenuity. Amidst these, Aung Ko, a young trucker, navigates challenging roads for livelihood, illustrating the resilience and aspirations of Myanmar's people. Ko Soe Moe's journey through hazardous Chin mountains roads, vital for trade with India, underscores the potential and perils of opening up new tourist paths.
