Myanmar
The Golden Land

Myanmar is rightly known as the Golden Land — a name that reflects both its spiritual richness and natural beauty. Burma, as it is still affectionately called in the West, is a country of magnificent ancient temples rising from misty plains, broad flowing rivers that shape daily life, and lush mountain forests teeming with life. Its cities are filled with charm and contrast, where colonial architecture stands beside golden pagodas and vibrant street markets. Traveling through Myanmar is not only a journey into a different region but also a step back in time — to a world where tradition still guides the rhythm of life. From the serene landscapes of Inle Lake to the timeless wonder of Bagan’s temple plain, every corner reveals beauty and grace. Yet what truly defines Myanmar is its people — warm, gentle, and unfailingly kind — whose hospitality turns every encounter into a memorable connection and every visit into something deeply personal.
Flavours Of Myanmar
Take a bite out of Burma with some Green Tea Salad in Mandalay or a walking food tour in colonial Yangon. This mix of Chinese and Indian influences is a delicious way to experience Myanmar.
Unique Experiences
From the Shwedagon pagoda covered in billions worth of gold, to the desert plains covered with thousands of stupas, this country has unique experiences around every corner.
Local Encounters
Talk with the farmers and fishermen of Inle Lake, who created unique floating gardens. Feel the local culture when you buy some flowers to donate in a flower-offering ritual.
