MYANMAR

Myanmar (Burma) - Land of serenity and mystery, a seductive country with congenial people, rich culture, and stupendous architecture, situated on the most westerly point of the Southeast Asian landmass. From its sublime landscapes and rich history, to its serene people and deeply Buddhist culture, it is a destination like no other, offering the visitor a veritable treasure trove of wonders and delights unmatched in the world today. Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon and Bagan’s endless thousand-year-old temples stretching as far as the eye can see are two of the great man-made wonders of the world.
