As yet unspoilt and untouched by mass tourism, this charming country, with its mystical sites, leisurely pace and deeply spiritual people will enchant you from the outset. Visit the evocative cities of Rangoon and Mandalay with their hill stations and their fine, architectural reminders of a bygone, imperial age.

Stroll through the colourful street markets, take a horse drawn carriage through the two thousand deserted temples, pagodas and stuppas of the tiny city of Bagan. See the floating villages and gardens on the Inle Lake where silk is woven from the lotus plants and where the leg rowers cast their nets.
