Myanmar

The Union of Myanmar, mostly known as Burma due to a period of British colonization, lies at the crossroads of Asia’s brightest civilizations: India and China. Geographically part of Southeast Asia, it is bordered with China on the north and northeast, with Laos and Thailand on the east and southeast, with India on the west, and surrounded by the Andaman sea and the Bay of Bengal. A truly golden land due to the wealth of minerals and agriculture, it amazes every visitor with its unique and ancient places preserved through centuries of culture and traditions. To this day, Myanmar is one of the most mysterious and undiscovered destinations in the world. An ancient part of Asia, Myanmar is able to offer a multitude of exotic traditional delights in one astounding country. From virgin jungles and pristine beaches, peaceful and calm countrysides, quiet lakes with foggy forests to the snowcapped peaks of the Himalaya mountains, Myanmar has it all. Ancient ruins, spectacular monuments, and scared pagodas surround its developing cities, while modern hotels now meet an international level of service. A country that only recently started emerging into the modern world, Myanmar is actually home to 135 different ethnic groups. It is one of the biggest world centers for Theravada Buddhism presenting a gorgeous heritage that has remained intact over the centuries, Myanmar is a country that can fuel you emotions, stimulate you senses, and stay in your souls forever. “This is Burma,” wrote Kipling, “It is quite unlike any place you know about.”
