DavidTravel Itinerary Highlights include:
Shrouded in mystery throughout
recent history, Myanmar is slowly awakening to the 21st century.
On this new independent journey, be one of the few to experience
the inspiring spirituality and old-world charm of a country
largely untouched by modernity as you fly over thousands of
golden
stupas in Bagan, cruise the Ayeyarwady River and meet
monks and master silk weavers.
• Capture the photographs of a lifetime from a private hot air
balloon ride over Bagan's 2,000
pagodas and temples
• Explore the romance of a bygone era when you cruise the gentle
Ayeyarwady River downstream toward Bagan, disembarking at a
local village
• Gain insight into Myanmar's spirituality when you reflect on
your journey in a Buddhist monastery atop
Mount Popa
• Rest each evening in luxurious hotels that recall colonial-era
grandeur and style, including the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok and
the Governor's Residence
Overview:
With dense forests, abundant
wildlife, friendly people, rich culture and underdeveloped
coastal resorts,
Myanmar (previously known as Burma) is certainly a beautiful
corner of Asia. Sadly, however, an unstable political situation
substantially detracts from Myanmar's credentials as an alluring
tourist destination.
Would-be tourists face a difficult choice in whether to come. On
the one hand, Myanmar has many attractions: thousands of
pagodas, fascinating culture and ancient towns among them. Also,
tourists are welcomed with open arms by locals hungry for news
of the outside world, and for their economic contribution.
