A glimpse of the highlights

The magnificent grandeur of the 2500 years old Shwedagon Pagoda dominates Yangon, the capital city, and endows it with an ambiance of glory and nobility.

The Dukkan-thein , an ordination hall dating back to the 15th century, spiritually reinforces the town of Maruk Oo, the ancient capital of Rakhine State.

The inhabitants of this picturesque lake in the Shan State have developed a unique one-legged rowing technique which is truly remarkable.

Thousands of temples and pagodas appear as the morning mist clears, adorning the great plains of Bagan, one of the most prominent archaeological sites of South East Asia.

The Tharaba gateway of Bagan is the main gateway on the east wall and only structure left out of the 12 gateways of the 9th century city wall. The prayer niches on each side of the entrance house the guardian spirits or nats.

The walls and vaults of the temples of Bagan are covered with murals, which date from the 11th and 15 th centuries.

The elaborate moat and walls of the Royal Palace of Mandalay are a fitting testament to the splendor of Myanmar’s last royal capital.

The intricately carved golden palace monastery or Shwenandaw Kyaung was originally part of the Royal palce and is, as such, of great interest not only as a fine example of a traditional Myanmar wooden monastery, but as a reminder of the once extravagant moat palace.

U Being’s Bridge, which stretched across the Taungthaman Lake of Amarapura near Mandalay has stood the test of time for two centuries and remains the longest teak span in the word.

Myanmar’s coastline is a dream come true for worshipers of sun, sea and sand. Kilometres of white un-spoilt white sand beaches fringed with coconut groves invite travelers who love to swim, sun-bathe, snorkel or stroll along the ocean. Ngapali Beach Northwest of Yangon in the Bay of Bengal is Myanmar’s most prestigious seaside resort, a truly undiscovered paradise far away from tourist crowds. There are no noisy beach bars, no discos, no jet-skis, no beach vendors and no rows of suntan-oiled bodies basking in the sun. White sand, the natural scenic beauty of the blue sea, swaying palm trees and privacy is a guaranteed ingredient of a beach holiday at Ngapali Beach.

Ngwe Saung Beach is located approximately 270 km to the west of Yangon and 35 km Northwest of Pathein (Bassein). The un-spoilt 15 km of white powdery sand beach invites travellers to relax under lush tropical coconut palm trees. Besides beach activities such as swimming, windsurfing and snorkelling Ngwe Saung Beach is the ideal retreat for guests seeking a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.
