Introducing Myanmar
Still called Burma by many, Myanmar is southern Asia’s most enigmatic destination. Explore the British colonial-era districts of Yangon (Rangoon) and see its gilded stupas. Else, focus on the highlights around Mandalay in the north. A former royal capital, this city remains the cultural and religious focal point of the country, while its location on the banks of the Irrawaddy River makes a cruise on a gently-aging steamer a dramatic way to end your stay in the country.

When to go to Myanmar
The predominant climatic condition to be aware of when considering the best time to visit Myanmar is its rainy season, which covers much of the period from June to September. Visits to Myanmar are therefore best planned for the dry season of October through to May. November is also popular, since temperatures during this month hover between 25°C in the north and 32°C in the south. Hiking amid the isolated hill tribes of the country’s far north is still pleasant during this time of year, nor is it too hot to enjoy the pristine ribbons of white sand around Ngapali. Learn more.
How long to stay in Myanmar
With the country’s land and water-based transport infrastructure still in need of some improvement, 10 days to 2 weeks is arguably the ideal amount of time for those planning an in-depth adventure in Myanmar. However, it is best to focus your attention on two or three of the country’s top destinations if you have seven days. Short on time and looking to spend just a long weekend in Myanmar? Then get a feel for the unique Burmese culture by staying close to either Yangon or Mandalay. Learn more.
Must-visit destinations in Myanmar
When planning any personalized Myanmar itinerary, there are four key destinations you need to know about. Also called Myanmar’s ‘Big Four’, they comprise Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan, and Inle Lake. Together, they provide a stunning introduction to the country’s culture, history, and natural beauty.
You might also want to wander among thousands of Buddha statues that line the caves of Pindaya or discover the ruins of Minden, which if completed would have been the world’s largest pagoda. Finally, no Myanmar adventure is complete without a trip to the Irrawaddy River, the country’s lifeblood.
