Zarmani GuidesAll of us at Zarmani happily acknowledge that the guide is the most important component of your holiday in Myanmar. Zarmani guides are selected not just for their knowledge of the destination and their guiding experience, but also for a sense of adventure that takes them off the beaten track. All our guides love guiding, and say the next best thing to being on tour with clients, is investigating new places – not just for the experience itself, but also in anticipation of taking clients to these new places sometime later.

She holds a bachelors degree in mathematics and a diploma in anthropology from Yangon University, and has attended ‘Tourism Courses’ at the Alliance Francaise and ‘Communication Skills’ from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Yangon. Her knowledge is remarkable, reading avidly on subjects from world history to the gossip on Hollywood actors, and of course her main interest – Myanmar’s myriad ethnic minority groups and The Buddhism. Fluent in English and French, May Khine has led groups and individuals for Zarmani since 1998 and is the calmest problem solver in the company. She is our most enduring character known especially for her generosity and kindness, and reliability as an excellent guide.
