MYANMAR

Myanmar (Burma) - Land of serenity and mystery, a seductive country with congenial people, rich culture, and stupendous architecture, situated on the most westerly point of the Southeast Asian landmass. From its sublime landscapes and rich history, to its serene people and deeply Buddhist culture, it is a destination like no other, offering the visitor a veritable treasure trove of wonders and delights unmatched in the world today. Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon and Bagan’s endless thousand-year-old temples stretching as far as the eye can see are two of the great man-made wonders of the world.

MYANMAR

Myanmar has a tropical climate with three distinct seasons: the cool season from November to February which is dry; the hot season from March to May with average temperatures in the 30's Celsius and occasionally over 40ºC; the rainy season from May to the beginning of October with frequent short rainstorms and humidity. The rains are rarely long enough to disrupt sight-seeing plans. For those heading to the beaches, the coast has two distinctive seasons of dry and rainy. During the rainy season (April - September), most resorts and restaurants close down entirely and the flight schedule is severely limited. The dry season is delightful with sunny skies, warm ocean breezes, and temperatures around 30 - 34ºC during the day.
