A nation that has seen decades of harsh military rule – has some wondrous sights: a thousand temples scattered across the countryside in Bagan, One of the most photogenic plain in the world with over 2000 temples and pagodas stood mightily for hundreds of years. The Majestic River, the drifting gardens of Inle Lake -the Ayeyarwady and the Chindwin -are navigable into the furthest reaches of the country.
Exploring the country can feel like a journey back to the past – influenced from the western world is missing, and even in Rangoon (Yangon) the largest city of Burma the locals strolling the streets in traditional dress, with thanakha worn by women to avoid being tanned. Traditional life has been preserved well in other areas of the country; the women walk the teak U-Bein bridge with goods balanced atop their heads, fishermen of Inle Lake practice leg-rowing and life goes on as normal in the remote villages of Kalaw. The best way to explore the local life is by sailing the attractive Irawaddy and Chindwin rivers, gaining access to villages that are otherwise inaccessible.

After years of stagnation and international sanctions, Burma, albeit under its name Myanmar is suddenly ‘hot’ again. The military regime has made sufficient concessions to enable sanctions to be removed and the country is now moving at lightening speed to improve infrastructure and develop businesses.
As a travel destination, Myanmar is similar to Vietnam in the mid 1990's get in here while it is still relatively pristine! The country is safe, the people are lovely, and the scenery is unsurpassed. This is probably the number one ‘exotic’ travel destination for 2014 and our map has been updated as much as possible for a country changing so quickly.
I was in Burma in 1969 and loved it. Even at that time, there were difficulties getting permission to visit Mandalay and the buses were WW2 Canadian troop carriers. This will be a popular title!
