Our
Myanmar Highlights features a remarkable journey to this
mysterious country, offering our guests a heavy dose of its
timeless culture,
scenic beauty and magnificent ancient architectures.
In Myanmar,
there is more magic and mystery in the air than
anywhere else in Asia. To this day Myanmar remains one of the
most mysterious and undiscovered destinations in the world. A
land of breathtaking beauty and charm yet only recently emerging
into the modern world.
Your Myanmar voyage begins in
Yangon, Myanmar's charming capital,
also known as the Garden City of the East. Its
unmistakably colonial style buildings, open markets and wide
tree-lined avenues endow it with a strange mix of old world charm and
modern vitality. The highlight of the cityscape is the famous Shwedagon
Pagoda,
the world's largest and most impressive Buddhist pagoda. We then
bring you to Bagan,
birthplace of
the Myanmar civilization and the largest archaeological site in Asia,
home to more than
5000 pagodas.
Then,
continue on to Mandalay, a city more distinguished and
self-confident than any other city in Myanmar, providing a unique mixture of old and new.
This spiritual centre boasts numerous old wooden monasteries and unique pagodas
that date back to life under the reign of Myanmar's last
King. Next, prepare yourself to an unforgettable experience to Inle
Lake, a place indescribable by words, with villages of bamboo
and wooden dwellings situated in the midst of the lake, perched on
stilts, and boats being the sole means of transport.
Overnight at an enchanting
bungalow-style resort built on stilts each furnished with balconies
overlooking the lake.
