Myanmar
"Unlike Any Land You Know About" - Rudyard Kipling
Myanmar us one of the world's most desirable destinations today, now that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has invited travellers to visit again. The shimmering spire of Shwedagon Pagoda is a symbol of the nation, but this enigmatic country is home to the incredible temples of Bagan, the crumbling former capitals around Mandalay and the stunning natural beauty of Inle Lake. Further afield lie unspoiled beaches, charming colonial relics and unique local cultures. Quite simply, as Kipling one said, "Burma is quite unlike any place you know about."
