Myanmar

Those lucky enough to have traveled to Myanmar find it is truly a land of unsurpassed beauty and inspiration. As Buddhism is the predominant religion, it is the focal point of countless pagodas and images. An astonishing accomplishment is how the developing city of Yangon has harmoniously progressed and entwined with the cultural heritage of the indigenous Burmese. The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, is a jewel in this glorious city, set amongst British Colonial architecture that dates to the British occupation which ended in 1948. Although Yangon is the major city and gateway to Myanmar, travellers will be amazed by the lush green surroundings of the city. Each of the many destinations throughout Myanmar offers something unique to even the most experienced travellers.

Experience the sheer beauty of Bagan and the serene atmosphere of Inle Lake; be enthralled bye the people and culture of Myanmar. Whether it is enjoying a cup of tea with an elderly silk weaver or discussing Buddhism with a monk, the generosity and kindness of the people of Myanmar is an unforgettable experience! In total 135 ethnic minorities live in the country, each with their own dialect and customary dress. The most amazing of these customs is the Padaung people who admire long necks, and as a result the women of the villages wear brass rings around their necks until they are suitably elongated.   More.....
