About Myanmar
Step back into a bygone era where tradition, spirituality and hospitality are all important. We know that Myanmar will get under your skin and you will leave with fond memories. Experience pure Asia in the cities and towns, where the temples and pagodas are hives of activity, and in the countryside where life goes on unchanged.
Roam the streets of Yangon with its faded colonial charm and bustling markets, but allow plenty of time to admire the gold-leafed Shwedagon Pagoda, Myanmar's holiest monument. Be amazed by the thousands of temples and stupas scattered across the plain on the banks of the Irrawaddy River at Bagan. Mandalay is rich in pagodas and palaces but spare time to lunch with the monks at the largest monastery in the country at nearby Amarapura and admire the white-painted monasteries and pagodas that cover Sagaing Hill.
Watch life on the riverbank as you cruise languidly down the Irrawaddy, be fascinated by the skill of the leg-rowing fishermen on Inle Lake with its stilt houses and floating gardens, savour sweeping views from Mount Popa, an extinct volcano, enjoy the former British hill station of Pyin Oo Lwin and trek through pine forests to the hill tribes around Kalaw.
