ANCIENT, EXOTIC, UNDISCOVERED

Shrouded in mystery for decades, Burma is now open for visitors to its golden pagodas, exotic temples, and picturesque lakes and rivers. Burma is a wonderfully diverse country, rich in history and tradition, where you will uncover a fascinating culture and welcoming, friendly people.

Meet Chris Ellis, Regional Specialist for Burma

“Recently opened up for tourists, Burma is a fabulously unique destination within south-east Asia. Unaffected by western influences, it is an excellent place to discover ancient traditions, such as the one-legged rowing technique of Inle Lake fishermen, daily life in tribal villages and trainee monks practising their faith at one of the thousands of temples around the country. The local people are just as friendly and inviting as any of its neighbouring countries, and so it’s a great place for those returning to south-east Asia and for first timers.”

“A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE BURMA HIGHLIGHTS”
Mandalay “The cultural capital of Burma, Mandalay is great for exploring markets, temples and backstreets. It’s also home to the world’s largest book containing the entire Buddhist scripture on 729 marble slabs!”	Inle Lake “Enjoy a relaxing boat trip on Inle Lake to discover the traditional rowing style of the local fishermen; they stand on one leg and wrap the other around the oar. Set to a beautifully scenic backdrop, this is a must on any itinerary.”	Bagan “Built between the 11th and 13th centuries, Bagan is one of the world’s archaeological wonders, a huge complex with thousands of temples and stupas, - we recommend a couple of days to explore it properly.”
