Burma is the land of the mystical temples and golden pagodas. Today known as Myanmar, it is a country of a different age where time itself moves at a different pace.  It is a country of quiet eccentricity, gentle charm, and fascinating traditions. It’s a place still unspoiled by mass tourism. Visually, Myanmar is unique. In no other land do scenes of casual, almost unintended beauty so constantly delight the eye. Travel the great Ayeyarwady River to Kipling's Mandalay, the last of Burma's royal capitals. Discover Pagan, once the capital of Myanmar and of the whole Buddhist world, now an arid plain thickly studded with pagodas of all shapes and sizes. Explore exotic Inle Lake whose inhabitants live on floating islands overgrown with flowers and lush vegetation. Meet the people of this richly varied land, from the northern hill tribes to the amiable Burmese. This is an enchanting country of enchanting people.
