myanmar | introduction

The hidden pearl of Indochina and the largest country on the mainland of Southeast Asia, Myanmar remains a truly spectacular hidden gem amongst so many well-known neighboring countries. Lands rich in human and natural resources, history and culture, the country is both alluring and magical in every sense. Though despite its charming aspects, still so many pass up the opportunity to see the country for what it truly is.

Arriving in Myanmar, visitors will soon find themselves amongst countless pagodas each scattered across the landscape and creating somewhat of a postcard perfect image. The royal cities around Mandalay conjure up images of times long past and Bagan lures with an imposing valley of stunning traditional temples.

Being given the chance to explore the small villages that surround the larger cities is nothing short of memorable and eye opening. 

Places such as the northern 

village of Shan State provide views of Inle Lake while Ngapali provide an entirely different experience of pristine tropical beaches.Yet, despite the immensely diverse and beautiful features of the country, Myanmar continues to be stereotyped into a completely different image.

Anyone given the opportunity to explore and truly immerse themselves within the stunningly inviting lands of Myanmar will surely see that although not as well-known as other parts of Southeast Asia, the country most certainly has its number of alluring draws. From the hustle and bustle of Mandalay to the serenity of Yangon and all the way to the valley of the Ayeyarwady River, the options and diversity of Myanmar are truly endless. All it takes is one visit to this world of wonder to spark an ignition of desire to return once again to such a beautifully vast country.
