Step Back in Time in Myanmar
Myanmar, Southeast Asia
Step back in time as you set foot in Myanmar - a chance to see a corner of Asia which has changed little since British colonial times . Myanmar is in many ways a time-warp, with little evidence of 21st century-life as we are used to it back home.
Walk in the shoes of Burmese Buddhists up the steep path to the Golden Rock - an important pilgrimage site where a beautiful sunset awaits you (alternatively, make the journey in a sedan chair).
An in-depth walking guided tour of Yangon will reveal heritage buildings and the rich history of their function and inhabitants up to the present day.
Fly over Bagan and watch as the ancient Kingdom of Bagan unfolds before your eyes, while sipping on sparkling wine and taking remarkable photographs.
Observe monks on their daily alms rounds - in the early hours, locals line-up outside their homes and spoon rice into the alms bowls of passing monks.
Walk the longest teak wood bridge in the world, a 150-year-old bridge in Amarapura, the former capital of Myanmar.
Explore the calm waters of magical Inle lake, dotted with Intha stilt house villages, floating vegetable gardens and fishing canoes against the backdrop of the beautiful Shan hills.
