A Guide To Myanmar Backpacking

By Timothy Stevens


Myanmar, or formerly known as Burma, has been one of the most beautiful places for backpackers to visit when they would go on vacation. This country is one of the most uncovered ones in South East Asia. If one would want to go Myanmar backpacking and see the sights, then here is a guide on some of the places to go to and visit.

Number one on the list of places to visit would of course be the city of Yangon. It is in this very place that one will be able to see the biggest pagoda in the country known as the Shwedagon Pagoda which is the only gold colored pagoda in Myanmar. This pagoda is known to be the most amazing of all pagodas in the entire region of South East Asia.

Now if one would want to take to the hills and over to the fields, then the place to visit would be Kyaiktiyo. This is a great place for one to relax as he can stay in the small town of Kinpun and make his way to the famous Golden Rock. This place is also great for some hiking journeys as well as wilderness trekking.

Now if one would want to enter a rather busy street, then he might want to visit Mandalay. Mandalay is home to the U Bien Bridge which is a very beautiful spot that many couples flock to because of the romantic atmosphere that it gives off. Of course, there would also be the very beautiful Mandalay Hill that can be found in the outer sections of Mandalay.

Bagan is the area in Myanmar that has the most temples with around two thousand temples that can be seen. If one would want to get around, he can actually ride on a horse carriage so that he may experience the authenticity of the place. He can take a horse carriage to take a look at the really beautiful temples that can be found in the area.

If one would prefer the nature setting, then the place he would most likely want to go to would be Lake Inle. Lake Inle is probably the most peaceful place to visit because the lake itself is very serene and it is surrounded by so many trees. Of course if one would want to go hiking, then he can go from Lake Inle to Kalaw and over to Nyaung Shwe.

For the beach bums out there, the place to go to would be Ngapali Beach. Now one has to know that Ngapali beach is not a luxury beach with hotels or swimming pools. It is actually a very bare beach with huts but retains its charm because it is not urbanized.

So for those who are planning to go to this amazing place while on vacation, do not forget to take a look at some of these places. One will definitely be able to enjoy himself if he would go to the places mentioned above. This country is a place wherein one can really have the adventure of a life time that he will never forget as long as he lives.
