myanmar
From the Himalayas to white sand beaches, modern Myanmar is new, untouched, unknown, and unexplored.
Myanmar is possibly the most geographically diverse country in Southeast Asia and it is easy to understand why the likes of Kipling and Orwell fell in love with it.
A spirituality permeates the place, and remains a constant despite the pace of change. Until recently a country shrouded in mystery and secrecy, every discerning traveler is sure to find something to move, touch and inspire them despite the fact that it is still largely untouched by tourism.

YANGON
The British wanted Yangon (or Rangoon, as it was called by them) to be the crowning jewel of their empire. Since the country has recently opened up to more international travelers, there has been a gold rush of people to the country. Now that things have settled down it is the ideal time to visit and explore.
BAGAN
Ranked as one of the most inspiring sites in Southeast Asia, any trip to Myanmar must include a stop in Bagan. Across a the Bagan plain, more than 4,000 stupas, temples and monasteries were constructed between the 11th and the 13th centuries. A few more than half remain today for you to explore in wonder at the devotion and labor that went into their construction.
INLE LAKE
Possibly the most photographically picturesque destination in Myanmar, the Inle Lake preservation area is home to thousands of birds as well as a diverse and thriving human population. Explore the markets as the hill people come down to the lake to trade with the lake people.
MANDALAY
Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar, is the capital of the Mandalay Division. Also referred to as the ‘City of Gems’, it was the last commanding capital of Myanmar before the British conquered the place. With a population of over two million inhabitants, Mandalay is now a major economic centre.
