Travel Guide Mogok

More than one adventurer dreams of joining Mogok, also thinking of finding one of these rubies, assuring him wealth and prosperity for the rest of his life. This is Mogok, a small village in the famous "ruby valley", mentioned by Kessel in his book of the same name. From the pages of the book to today, nothing has changed. Mogok is authentic. The small town lives to the rhythm imposed by the extraction of stones. A crowd of people work day and night in the quarries, hoping to discover the ruby "pigeon's blood". For a long time forbidden access because of the guerrillas, the region has regained its calm. On the other hand, it is obligatory to go there with a guide via a local agency, which then takes care of the obligatory permit. For an experience as rich as possible, we advise you to get in touch with Jean-Yves, from Ananda Travels. He knows all about precious stones!
