Floating garden and village on Inle Lake
The Burmese countryside
Walking &
hiking
in Myanmar
Rare is the 21st century destination that can grant travellers a genuine
feeling of revelation and discovery. Myanmar is no ordinary place. If travel
is about the thrill of the undiscovered, Myanmar is the ultimate destination after years of isolation from the outside world. A journey there is the
very definition of time travel, like opening a creaky door to an ancient
and mysterious realm long-concealed from the outside world. Unspoiled,
utterly authentic and home to some of the most welcoming people on
earth, it’s not the easiest place to travel but it’s one of the more magical
places known. Before it finds its way onto the tourist map, visit the ancient
temples and pagodas—2,000 of them in the city of Bagan—and marvel at
the floating gardens, villages built on stilts above Inle Lake, and a unique
culture still largely unknown to the rest of the world. Witness firsthand the
exciting changes unfolding in Myanmar
