Experience the real Myanmar

Myanmar (or Burma) remains one of the most mysterious and undiscovered destinations in the world. A land of pagodas, breathtaking beauty and charm yet only recently emerging into the modern world.

Virgin jungles, mountains and pristine beaches, combined with a rich and glorious heritage spanning more than two thousand years. Spectacular monuments and ancient cities attest to a vibrant culture that is still home to 135 different ethnic groups. Myanmar offers all the traditional delights of Asia in one fascinating country.

Myanmar is considered the most religious Buddhist country in the world. Not surprisingly, monks are considered highly venerated members of Burmese society.

For those fascinated with countries and people at the centre of current geopolitical events or those with an interest in history, architecture or religion, Myanmar is a wonderful destination.
