A country with preserved thousand-year-old traditions
Myanmar reveals an authentic Southeast Asia, where monks in saffron robes parade at dawn through dusty streets and golden stupas emerge from morning mists. Here, time seems suspended between the plains of Bagan scattered with temples and the lakeside villages of Inle Lake, where fishermen row standing on one leg according to a centuries-old technique.
Long closed to tourism, this territory preserves a deeply Burmese soul, where each encounter reveals natural hospitality and living traditions. Markets are filled with fragrant thanaka, this sandalwood paste that women wear on their cheeks, while Buddhist chants resound in carved wooden monasteries.
What to absolutely see in Myanmar?
Bagan remains the must-see with its 2000 temples and pagodas scattered across an ochre plain, offering breathtaking hot air balloon sunrises. Inle Lake captivates with its floating gardens and stilt villages, while Mandalay reveals traditional Burmese art in its puppet workshops and gold leaf studios. Yangon fascinates with its Shwedagon Pagoda with 60 tons of gold and its preserved colonial architecture. Remote regions like Shan State reveal ethnic minorities in colorful costumes and pristine mountainous landscapes.
What type of trip should you choose?
A tailor-made journey is essential to navigate between iconic sites and exclusive discoveries, with a minimum of 12 days to grasp the essentials. Travelers curious about Buddhist culture and authenticity will find their happiness here, far from mass tourism circuits. The average budget of €2200/person includes charming accommodations, English-speaking guide and domestic flights, for a respectful immersion in this society in transition.
