Myanmar
For years, the former Burma has offered
mystery behind its closed doors, however as the
country awakens to visitors it has showcased an
extraordinary land, scattered with glistening pagodas,
where traditions from time past still appear.
From the vast plains, along the meandering rivers to
the colonial touched cities filled with a mix of the past
and the new, voices of historic travellers before you
bring an enticing world just begging to be discovered.
Yangon is a convenient starting point from which to
reach anywhere in the country.
Bagan should undoubtedly be on the itinerary of
every traveller to Myanmar and with good reason -
the stupa dotted plains are the most well-known and
popular image of Myanmar.
Inle Lake offers both stunning
scenery and tradition while in
Mandalay, it’s easy to escape
the main streets, instead
discovering areas full of
Myitkyina
craft workshops and tree-
shaded monasteries.
A great way to
experience
this
vast country is
on-board one of
the delightful
river cruises
ranging from
a few days
to a few weeks
and the emerging
beach destination
of Ngapali offers a real
combination holiday.

wants to see a different side of Asia.
