1 BURMA Arrive: 1300 Thursday, 27 February Onboard : 1400 Tuesday, 4 March Brief Overview: Burma is a land of unsurpassed beauty and inspiration, with the Buddhist religion being the focal point of countless Pagoda s and Buddha images. Now that the political climate has stabilized, Burma is accessible and safe for travel, making it an especially unique destination. Even the names, Burma or Myanmar, Rangoon or Yangon, are still open for debate. Whatever you call it, this country is an astonishing sight for many travelers to see just how well-preserved the traditions of the Burmese remain despite increasing modernization it can feel like you re stepping into a whole other world and time period. The developing city of Yangon, the major city and gateway to Burma, has harmoniously built itself around the cultural heritage of the Burmese. Travelers will be amazed by the lush green surroundings of Yangon, reflecting an image unlike many other Asian cities. The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is a jewel nestled in this glorious city scattered with British Colonial architecture from the British occupation ending in Of even greater beauty than the Golden Paya s in Yangon, the sheer beauty of Bagan, and the serene atmosphere of Inle Lake are the people and culture of Myanmar known for their modesty, conservatism, kindness and tolerance.
