Myanmar (Burma) is a magnificent country for a holiday. From the rolling Shan Hills to the cultural centres of Yangon and Mandalay, the countless stupas of the Bagan temples, the tranquillity of Inle Lake and the tropical Ngapali Beach, the country lives up to its reputation as an unspoiled gem. What’s more, with local people renowned for their warmth and hospitality, Burma holidays are perfect for creating connections and lifelong memories.
MYANMARWITH ETG
A beautifully traditional and spiritual country, Myanmar brims with remarkable temples and some of the world’s most astonishing Buddhist architecture.

Trust us when we say it’s possible to experience the depth of Myanmar’s heritage, without getting “templed out”!
