MYANMAR

An intense journey into the culture of Theravada Buddhism, where kindness is a fundamental rule of life. From Shwedagon Paya pagodas in Yangon to Bagan, with its archaeological park strewn with timeless temples. Don’t miss a visit to Inle Lake, where life is suspended on the water’s edge; then meet the giraffe women and enjoy the breathtaking view of Golden Rock, or Kyaiktiyo Pagoda. The balance of the rock depends on a strand of the Buddha’s hair, without which it would have fallen from the cliff. If you want to access a higher state of inner peace or regain trust in mankind, Burma is the place to go!
