Myanmar Travel Guide
Hosting some incredible sights such as Shwedagon Pagoda, magnificent Bagan and picturesque Inle Lake, Myanmar (Burma) is one of Asia's most fascinating destinations. With gilded pagodas towering above the encroaching jungles, ox-carts plodding between dusty villages and towns oozing in faded glory - Myanmar is picture-book Asia. Unfortunately it is also under the firm control of a military dicatorship that is reckoned to be one of the worst abusers of human rights in the world. Visiting Myanmar is a contensious and morally debatable issue for many travelers.
