Myanmar

Myanmar

 Asia’s best kept travel secret is beginning to flower as a tourist destination after decades of isolation.  This wonderfully diverse country with a population of 50 million has world class archaeological sites, fascinating scenery, vast teakwood forests, mighty rivers, Himalayan mountains, precious gemstone mines, historic old buildings, colourful ethnic groups and an incredibly warm and friendly people.


It’s primarily Buddhist culture is rich in history and tradition.  When visitors arrive at Yangon airport and adjust their watches to local time they may as well turn them back 30 or 40 years because Myanmar offers visitors a unique opportunity  –  a chance to experience Asian culture the way it used to be  –  and the way it still is in Myanmar.
