Essential Myanmar
Overview
Now is the moment to visit this extraordinary land, scattered with gilded pagodas, where the traditional ways of Asia endure and areas previously off-limits are now accessible.
Thankfully, the pace of change is not overwhelming, leaving the simple pleasures of travel in Myanmar intact. You can still drift down the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River in an old river steamer, stake out a slice of beach on the blissful Bay of Bengal, or trek through pine forests to villages scattered across the Shan Hills without scores of fellow travelers. Best of all, you will encounter locals who are gentle, humorous, engaging, considerate, inquisitive and passionate – they want to play a part in the world and welcome you to theirs.
This tour itinerary takes you to the must-see places of Yangon- the gateway to Myanmar, Bagan - the most beautiful archeological sites in Asia, Mandalay - the last capital of Myanmar Kingdom and Inle Lake.
