Myanmar

Myanmar is one of those still quite untouched countries that leave room for exploring unknown spots with very view other people around. Cold, magic mornings in Bagan, strenuous hikes up to pagodas in Hpa An, bustling city life in Yangon and Mandalay and not to forget the amazing Ngapali beach - you’ll find one similarity in all the diversity: the Burmese are probably the most friendly and helpful people we have met on our travels.

14 days is definitely not enough to see the entire country but we managed to get the best out of it. The trip has been a great mix of big cities, amazing landscapes and ancient culture plus a hangout at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Some take-aways from our short trip in the 'country of Pagodes'.

Ngapali Beach - Myanmar's tropical paradise

Ngapali is the most famous seaside resort in Myanmar, but you certainly don’t get that impression on first sight.

Bagan - A unique place filled with over 2.000 pagodes

Bagan is famous all over the world for boasting over 2,000 pagodas with staircases towering into the sky.

Mandalay - the bustling city in the north of Myanmar

Mandalay is the second largest city in Myanmar with 1.6 mio. Inhabitants and made an even more bustling impression on us than Yangon.

Hpa-An - Green fields, palm trees and limestone rocks

Five hours east of Yangon we found a quiet, beautiful part of Myanmar, nestled into the valley of the Thanlwin River.

Yangon - the former capital of Myanmar

Yangon is a lively, bustling city of about 7 Million inhabitants located in the southern part of Myanmar.
