MYANMARWITH ETG
A beautifully traditional and spiritual country, Myanmar brims with remarkable temples and some of the world’s most astonishing Buddhist architecture. Yet, while most travellers love to see the temples of Bagan or the glittering Shwedagon Pagoda, our holidays also go beyond these impressive sights with insightful, local experiences. Trust us when we say it’s possible to experience the depth of Myanmar’s heritage, without getting “templed out”!
