Formerly known as Burma, Myanmar boasts a compelling history that spans over two millennia, with its roots in the powerful empires of Bagan, Mandalay, and the enchanting city of Yangon.

Myanmar's history is a saga of empires, dynasties, and diverse ethnic groups. Its ancient wonders are best represented by the temples of Bagan, an archaeological treasure trove that stands testament to the grandeur of the Pagan Empire. The Mandalay Palace, once the royal residence, echoes the elegance of the last Burmese monarchy. Yangon, the largest city, showcases colonial-era architecture from British rule.

Head to Bagan, the spiritual heart of the country with thousands of temples and stupas, or visit Inle Lake, a serene and picturesque location where villages float on the water. Travel to Yangon, the capital with the resplendent Shwedagon Pagoda, or to Mandalay, the last royal capital of Burma featuring historic sites like the Mandalay Palace and the U Bein Bridge – the longest teakwood bridge in the world.

Myanmar is a country rich in temples, with iconic sites such as Shwedagon Pagoda, Ananda Temple, and Mahamuni Pagoda. Inle Lake excursions offer boat trips to explore floating gardens, local markets, and traditional villages. Trekking opportunities abound to witness the remote hill tribes and pristine landscapes of Shan State. Don't forget to sample Burmese cuisine, including mohinga (noodle soup) and tea leaf salad, and explore local markets. And, of course, witnessing the ethereal sunsets over the Bagan temples is an experience that will stay with you forever. Myanmar, with its timeless beauty, is a destination that transcends the ordinary, offering an unforgettable journey into the heart of Asia's past and present.
