Burma (Myanmar)

Visiting Burma (Myanmar) is to travel into the past, into a mysterious and undiscovered world. Although Burma is ruled by a military regime, recent political events have reassured the world that the government is serious about change, and hence Burma is very much back on the tourist map.

Sharing borders with India and Bangladesh to the west, Tibet and China to the north, and Thailand and Laos to the east, Burma is a melting pot of cultures from across Asia. Along with a century of British colonialism, Burma is a unique destination that captivates travellers.

Buddhist spirituality is central to Burmese culture with nearly all male Burmese devoting a period of their lives to monkhood. The country has thousands of pagodas and temples with the most significant being the awesome Golden Stupa of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon (Yangon), claimed to contain more gold than the vaults of the Bank of England.

Rangoon exudes old world charm with crumbling British colonial mansions, with Mandalay the religious heart of the country. Bagan is one of the great wonders of the world with thousands of ancient stupas and temples.
