Myanmar opens its doors to unveil its gilded pagodas, ancient stuppa-strewn plains, relaxed rivers, unspoilt beaches, colourful ethnic villages, a proud tradition of Buddhism, and a charming people enthusiastic for interaction. Now is a moment like no other to come explore the incredible country that is Myanmar. Formerly known as Burma, this old British colony is opening its doors to travellers and revealing amazing sights and a tremendously warm local people who are eager to connect and share their lives. Myanmar is an ethnically and culturally proud nation where Buddhism dominates daily life and culture. Magnificent temples and pagodas are located in every part of the country, from the golden peak of Shwedagon in Yangon to the 4000 ancient stuppas of Bagan. Add to this the old atmospheric colonial architecture, former British hill stations, romantic river journeys, pristine beaches, and enduring traditions, and you have a country both willing and able to satisfy the needs of even the most well-travelled observers.
