Discover Burma holidays by Nova Travel
Burma, or Myanmar as it is now known, is one of most fascinating destinations in the Far East, a country relatively new to tourism as a result of decades of isolation imposed by its military dictatorship. It is a culturally rich land with a long history and a diverse ethnic mix.
Touring the country can often feel like you have journeyed back to the past – influences from the western world are often missing, and even in Rangoon (Yangon), locals stroll the street in traditional dress, with thanakha worn by women to avoid being darkened by the sun. Traditional life has been especially well-preserved in other areas of the country; the fishermen of Inle Lake practise leg-rowing, women walk the teak U-Bein bridge with goods balanced atop their heads, and life goes on as per normal in the remote villages of Kalaw and beyond. One of the best ways to explore the local life is by sailing the impressive Irawaddy and Chindwin rivers, gaining access to villages that are otherwise inaccessible.
The strong spirituality and Buddhist roots of the country are seen in its shimmering temples scattered throughout the land, the exceptionally balanced Golden Rock, and the wandering, crimson-robed monks shaded by large umbrellas.
End a holiday in Burma with a beachside stay in Ngapali, and immerse yourself in the tranquil calm of this country; you may never want to go back home.
