Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is a stunningly beautiful country that's quickly becoming a must-visit destination on the Southeast Asian travel circuit. From the luscious green hills of Shan state to the white sand beaches of Ngapali, Myanmar offers something for everyone.

There are over 135 distinct ethnic groups living in Myanmar. This reflects in the vibrant culture, customs and cuisines that visitors can experience while traveling here.

The most iconic landmark in Myanmar is the golden Shwedagon Pagoda located in Yangon. This spectacular structure towers over 300 feet above its surroundings and is covered with more than 60 tons of gold leaf. It's also home to thousands of precious gems, making it one of the most impressive religious sites in this part of the world.

The former capital city Mandalay is also full of incredible attractions such as the ancient U Bein Bridge, Mahamuni Pagoda, and Kuthodaw Pagoda - the world's largest book containing 729 stone tablets inscribed with Buddhist teachings. Here you'll find an abundance of monks walking around in their signature maroon robes.

For those seeking adventure and outdoor activities, Myanmar has plenty to offer. Trekking in Inle Lake or exploring the Pindaya Caves are just two options for those who want to get off the beaten path.

A visit to Myanmar wouldn't be complete without trying some of their delicious Burmese cuisine. Dishes like mohinga, laphet thoke, and samusa will tantalize your taste buds and give you a true taste experience that you won't find anywhere else.
