Yangon
Despite having been deposed as capital in 2005, Yangon (formerly ‘Rangoon’) is most travellers’ gateway to Myanmar. Its resplendent centrepiece, rising from a hilltop in the centre of the city,
U Bein Bridge
U Bein Bridge is the longest teak bridge in the world and can be found linking Amarapura to Mandalay across Taungthaman Lake.
Pyin Oo Lwin
A two-hour drive east of Mandalay takes you through the foothills of the Shan Plateau to Pyin Oo Lwin (formerly known as ‘Maymyo’), where the British established their hot-season capital in the 19th century.
Putao
The far north of Myanmar, where the headwaters of Chindwin and Ayeyarwady rivers rise amid the perma snows of the outer subranges of the Himalayas, is one of Asia’s last untrammelled frontiers.
Pindaya
Among the most revered of the many sacred places dotted around the Shan Plateau is the cave complex at Pindaya, 37 miles (60km) north of Inle Lake, where a limestone cliff is riddled with caves full of gilded Buddha images.
Mount Popa
Just over an hour’s drive east of Bagan across Myanmar’s sun-baked central plain, the flat landscape is interrupted in dramatic fashion by a sheer-sided landform crowned by a tiny whitewashed and gilded monastery complex. This is Popa Taung Kalat, one of the region’s most revered pilgrimage sites and a popular day trip from Bagan.

This small market town on the Chindwin River, a half-day’s journey west of Mandalay, is the springboard for a trio of wonderful sights that often prove the unexpected highlights of trips around the Mandalay region. The oldest, 14 miles (23km) west, is the Pho Win Taung cave complex, where nearly 500 chambers have been hollowed from a low limestone hill. Many enclose Buddha images, with arched ceilings and walls plastered in murals.
Trekking Around Kalaw
Kalaw’s prominence on the tourist circuit is due mainly to the fact that its scenic environs are among the few rural parts of Myanmar you don’t need a permit to trek through.
Shwedagon Pagoda
High on a hill in Yangon sits the Shwedagon Pagoda - an incredible complex including a structure that houses strands of the Buddha's hair, as well as a number of other holy relics.
Bogyoke Aung San Market
At the far west end of Yangon’s colonial district, Bogyoke Aung San Market (formerly ‘Scott Market’) is Myanmar’s single richest source of souvenirs. Crammed on to two sprawling storeys in a sugar-pink building dating from 1926
Myanmar's Beaches
Few travellers to Myanmar resist the allure of a beach break at the end of their tour – and with good reason. Bona fide resorts may be thin on the ground, but the powder soft sand
Cycle Tour to Twante
Cross the Hlaing River from Yangoon and you enter a world that couldn’t be more different from the bustle of downtown. Gone are the streams of trishaws and taxis. In their place: horse carts, little red-tiled farmsteads and
