Myanmar Luxury Vacations

Myanmar Travel Guide

Myanmar is the sleeping dragon of Southeast Asia. Nestled along the seashore and framed by Thailand, China and India, Myanmar has attracted travelers for decades to its abundant forests, rich wildlife, ancient cities and fascinating culture. Add miles of pristine beaches, glittering golden temples and majestic pagodas, and you'll start to realize what the buzz is all about. Once known as Burma, Myanmar may be a bit complicated to get around in, but for the discerning traveler, it is definitely worth the trouble.

It's not for nothing that Myanmar is known as the Land of the Million Temples. The main destinations in Myanmar, Yangon, Mandalay and Bagan are home to thousands of golden temples and treasured pagodas. Yangon is the capital of Myanmar and located in the southern region and spread across three rivers. Mandalay is the historical capital of Myanmar and home to thousands of cultural memorials, Buddhist monasteries and stunning palaces. Myanmar's archaeological crown belongs to sparkling Bagan. Founded as a kingdom in 1044, Bagan is home to thousands of temples, pagodas, stupas and ruins, making it one of the richest archaeological sites in southeast Asia.
