Myanmar
For years, Myanmar - formerly known as "Burma" - was off limits to the rest of the world, locked away by a repressive military government and suffering in silence from one of the world's longest running civil wars.
Intro
Myanmar today still faces many challenges, but it is gradually emerging from its turbulent past, steadily evolving towards a future of hope and progression, and opening its doors to tourism, and the outside world more generally. For those who look beyond the headlines, a visit to Myanmar showcases one of the most untouched and rewarding destinations in South East Asia. Discover a land of raw beauty, unwavering spirit and unrivalled hospitality. Meet the traditional fishermen of Lake Inle, explore Bagan's sublime pagodas and Yangon's back streets, meet remote tribal groups, and take the breathtaking train ride to Mandalay.
