Myanmar is truly the land that time forgot. After three decades of self-imposed isolation, the unspoiled beauty and tranquility of Myanmar is to be treasured. The larger cities are bustling centers. In the countryside, however, time seems to have stood still. Here hundreds of pagodas dot the landscape, farmers dressed to their traditional garb tend to their emerald green rice paddies the way their ancestors have for centuries before and the pace of life seems perfectly in tune with the slow changing of the seasons.

Myanmar, the country formerly known as Burma, is one of the few truly original travel experiences remaining in this much-travelled world. Decades of social and economic isolation have preserved here many of the traditional features, physical and cultural, which have been lost in other Asian countries. Much of the country's attraction is in its history and artistic culture, as the people have preserved traditional values, and are deeply devout in their religion, with a close-knit family system and respect for elders still powerfully observed.

Yangon (Rangoon), the capital is perhaps the last remaining authentic example of an Asian tropical city still true to its former colonial origins. Most famous for the unique and glittering Shwedagon Pagoda, this city features beautiful gardens and lakes as well as impressive colonial-era buildings. Early civilization in Myanmar dates back to the 5th century and reached its peak of power and creativity in the 11th - 15th century. Bagan (Pagan), is one of the richest archaeological sites in Asia, with literally thousands of pagodas, stupas and temples set in a vast plain beside the Ayeyarwaddy (Irrawaddy) River. Mandalay is the former Royal capital of Myanmar with many historical buildings and interesting sights, temples and pagodas. A true highlight of the Myanmar travel experience, vast Inle Lake is studded with floating gardens and is renowned for its unique leg-rowers and colourful local markets.

Myanmar is a captivating travel destination - for its diversity of sightseeing, for the wealth of cultural and scenic attractions it can offer and, above all, for the warmth and friendliness of its charming people.
