Myanmar
Myanmar is a land of golden light and gentle rhythm — where ancient temples rise from misty plains, and riverbanks glow beneath endless sunsets. Beyond Bagan’s sacred spires, jungles hum with life, elephants wander through teak forests, and remote hills reveal cultures untouched by time. Here, every journey is both outer and inner — a return to simplicity, serenity, and the quiet wonder of the wild.

On the lake itself the Intha people have been living for many centuries in villages built entirely on stilts. Ride a private motorboat around the lake. Discover its natural beauty, visit the floating gardens, see some of the famous leg rowers, and have a cup of tea at a local family’s house. On and around the lake, traditional markets are held in different villages according to a 5-day rotating schedule. Visit one of these colourful markets frequented by Shan and PaO people. A visit to a local cheroot factory (where the Burmese cigars are made), floating tomato gardens, Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda, Intha Heritage house – where the Burmese cats are bred – are some of the attractions of Inle Lake Bagan is one of the former capitals of Myanmar.

Yangon / RangoonDowntown Yangon, also known as Rangoon, dates from the time of the English colonization which can been seen clearly while admiring the impressive architecture and street plan. Though not officially the capital of Myanmar, Yangon is exactly that in terms of population and economic importance. Yangon has the world’s largest gold reserves, found at the stupa Shwedagon Pagoda. Around the pagoda the historical 1988 student uprisings took place and it was here that Aung San Suu Kyi spoke to his people.
Pyin U LwinOnce the summer capital of the Raj in Burma, Pyin U Lwin still has some of the ‘hill station’ look and feel to it, which makes it unique. Due to its history as a summer capital and military centre of the Indian Army during British dominance, it has both a large Indian population and strong Anglo-Burmese and Anglo-Indian communitues.
MandalayA visit to Mandalay will take you back in time. Its narrow streets are a direct reminder of the British colonisation era. Mandalay is the second largest city of Myanmar and is an importan business centre for the country. Despite of its modernisation, Mandalay is widely regarded as the cultural and religious capital of Myanmar. In Mandalay’s city centre you will find the royal palace and a lot of original Birmese architecture such as the monasteries of Shwenandaw Kyaung and Shwe In Bin Kyaung.

Van het voormalig Britse station van Kalaw kun je meerdaagse tochten naar Inle Lake ondernemen en overnachten in dorpjes die je onderweg tegen komt. Ook in het Noorden in de Shan provincie bij Hsipaw kun je trekkings doen. Een ideale manier om het platteland en het echte leven van Myanmar te beleven! In the far south, relatively neglected until recent years, there are new opportunities now. In the Mergui Archipelago you can take fantastic live aboard cruises (with or without scuba diving) and stay on lovely sailing ships. A unique way to explore the area around Mandalay is by motorbike. The traffic in Mandalay is rather chaotic so it is important to be able to ride well, but once outside the city a motorbike gives wonderful freedom. Away from the beaten track, a motorbike is ideal to explore the Myanmar. You drive on almost empty high ways and discover remote areas, discover villages and neighborhoods where foreigners seldom come, and a great way to explore the temple areas outside Mandalay.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel to Myanmar is from October to January. During this period, it is generally dry and sunny. The months of February through April are the hottest, with temperatures well above 35 degrees Celsius. Because it’s not humid, this heat is more bearable than the sticky heat in other tropical countries. The warm, dry months are followed by the monsoon rains that enter Myanmar from the southwest. July and August, in particular, see a fair amount of rainfall in southern Myanmar. An advantage is that this period is very green and therefore exceptionally beautiful. Accommodation prices are considerably higher from October to March. Myanmar sees the most visitors in November and February. Overview of average temperatures and precipitation in Myanmar:
