Myanmar A new travel destination
Myanmar is country rich in history, culture and tradition. It’s midway between undergoing urbanization so that when you visit, you see an incredible mix of modern and old. Pagodas seem scattered across the landscape and nowhere is this more apparent than in Bagan. They even grace balancing rocks and the center of cities. But, while pagodas are some of the biggest attractions here, the country also boasts stunning natural landscapes and tourist-friendly beaches. Along with this, it is a popular place among the Buddha followers as it is home to several Buddhist temples.

TRAVEL MYANMAR 2020 | Yangon | Bagan | Mandalay | Taunggyi | Inle | Lashio | Pyin Oo Lwin in 2 Weeks
Myanmar Travel Video 2020..
I visited Myanmar with my family this year, Interestingly my Paternal side used to live in Lashio (Shan State), Myanmar. My grandfather used to work as a postmaster in Burma as he was posted there by the then British Government in British Burma. After Burma got Independence
the newly formed government Nationalized many businesses owned by immigrants & so many lost their business & jobs, same was with my family where my uncles lost jobs & were in a state of crisis, my father was very young then probably 8-9 years old. He was born in Maymyo (now Pyin Oo Lwin).
The best option was to return back to India where they had some relatives in and around Kolkata. So, then it became a herculean task for my grandfather & grandmother to gather whatever they could accompanied by 6 children (5 of them minor) gathered some help from friends & other resources,
reached Rangoon (now Yangon) where they stayed at Durga Bari, Yangon. Stayed in Yangon for a week or two, got every one passport done from Indian Embassy in Yangon & landed in Kolkata.
To cut it short, this trip was dedicated to my father & my aunt. Seriously they were behaving like kids when they got to visit their school in Lashio, walking in same neighborhood made then teary eyed. For me it was a experience of a lifetime, we had almost covered the whole of Myanmar.
Starting off from Yangon, we went to Kyaiktyo- looked for all the Buddha status inside a cave & the floating golden rock up the mountain, we then went to Taungoo & Inle Lake, got mesmerized by the vastness of the lake & amazed by the simple lifestyle of the Intha people. Straight away we went to
Mandlay, moving forward to Lashio & Pyin Oo Lwin. On way way returning to Yangon we went to Bagan, didn't get to see the sunrise over the thousands of small pagodas. which gives a reason to go back again.
All in all the the food the people has caught me so much that have already started making a road trip plan starting from Kolkata all the way to Bangkok through the amazing land of Myanmar....

Un incredibile viaggio in treno attraversando campi coloratissimi dove i contadini lavorano ancora con carri di legno trainati dai buoi fermandosi nelle stazioni rurali dove le donne vendono gli ortaggi locali per poi arrivare a Taungoo in villaggi dove gli elefanti la fanno da padroni.

Travel to Myanmar 2019
About Myanmar (Burma)
Myanmar is one of the most beautiful countries in Asia. A spectacular combination of people, culture and landscapes and all at low prices relative to other countries.
The people of Myanmar, for the most part, are Buddhists, exceptionally welcoming people from other counties.
Myanmar is a very large country, bigger than any European country, so a trip of several weeks will cover only a certain part of Myanmar and it is quite possible to cover a central part of Myanmar's famous places in a few weeks.
In the link that appears here, we describe the trip we made, a family of five (three small children) and what route we chose to do in order to make the most of our time.
We have spent 23 days in Myanmar. We started the travel to Myanmar in the northern part of Mandalay, although it can also be started in the southern part, Yangon, and from there to the north, it all depends on where you want to land and where you want to take off.
Here is a full article about our trip to Myanmar:
And here is a very short description or our experience:
We visited the following towns and villages:
Mandalay
Sagaing
Amarapura
Pyin Oo Lwin
Monywa
Bagan
Kakku
Mt. Popa
Loikaw
Inle Lake
Taungoo
Yangon
In each of the places, we have seen many unique sites. You can read all the details in the article and watch it in the video.
Recommended season
Everyone recommends traveling to the cooler season between November and January but it is important to remember that this is also the season loaded with tourists and prices of course accordingly, more expensive.
We usually travel in East or Southeast Asia at the end of the monsoon season in September, and if the season is not extreme, the trip experience is excellent.
Monsoon rains usually descend in the afternoon and freshen the air. The hotels and the hostels are almost empty and you do not have to book in advance. You can reach the place and choose where you want to sleep.
Which of course gives a lot of flexibility to the trip.

Bago, formerly Pegu, is a city and the capital of Bago Division in Burma (or Myanmar). It is located 50 miles (80 km) from Yangon and has a population of 220,000.
According to legend, two Mon princess from Thaton founded Bago in 573 AD. It was written in the chronicles that eight years after enlightenment, Lord Buddha along with his disciples flew around the Southeast Asian countries. On his return journey while crossing the Gulf of Martaban, which happened to be at low tide, he saw two golden sheldrakes sitting, female on top of male, on a peak of land protruding out of the sea just enough for a bird's perch. Viewing this strange phenomenon, he predicted to his disciples that one day a country where his doctrine would thrive would come into existence in this vast sea area. That part of the sea, when it was silted up and ready for habitation approximately 1500 years after the prediction, was colonized by Mons from the Thaton Kingdom. Thus, the Mons became the first rulers of this country known in history as Hongsawatoi (Pali Hamsavati). Other variations on the name include Hanthawaddy, Hanthawady and Handawaddy; and in Thai หงสาวดี Hongsawadi.
The earliest mention of this city in history is by the Arab geographer Ibn Khudadhbin around 850 AD. At the time, the Mon capital had shifted to Thaton. The area came under rule of the Burmese from Bagan in 1056. After the collapse of Bagan to the Mongols in 1287, the Mon regained their independence.
In Lower Burma, a Mon dynasty established itself first at Martaban and then at Pegu. During the reign of king Rajadhirat (13831421) Ava and Pegu were involved in continuous warfare. The peaceful reign of Queen Baña Thau (Burmese: Shin Saw Bu; 1453-72) came to an end when she chose the Buddhist monk Dhammazedi (1472-92) to succeed her. Under Dhammazedi Pegu became a centre of commerce and Theravada Buddhism.
From 1369-1539, Hanthawaddy was the capital of the Mon Kingdom of Ramanadesa, which covered all of what is now Lower Burma. The area came under Burman control again in 1539, when it was annexed by King Tabinshweti to his Kingdom of Taungoo. The kings of Taungoo made Bago their royal capital from 1539-1599 and again in 1613-1634, and used it as a base for repeated invasions of Siam. As a major seaport, the city was frequently visited by Europeans, who commented on its magnificence. The Burmese capital relocated to Ava in 1634. In 1740, the Mon revolted and briefly regained their independence, but Burmese King Alaungpaya (or U Aungzeya) sacked and completely destroyed the city (along with Mon independence) in 1757.
Bago was rebuilt by King Bodawpaya (1782-1819), but by then the river had shifted course, cutting the city off from the sea. It never regained its previous importance. After the Second Anglo-Burmese War, the British annexed Bago in 1852. In 1862, the province of British Burma was formed, and the capital moved to Yangon. The name Bago is spelt peh kou literally. The substantial differences between the colloquial and literary pronunciations, as with Burmese words, was a reason of the British corruption Pegu.
In 1911, Hanthawaddy was described as a district in the Bago (or Pegu) division of Lower Burma. It lay in the home district of Rangoon, from which the town was detached to make a separate district in 1880. It had an area of 3,023 square miles (7,830 km2), with a population of 48,411 in 1901, showing an increase of 22% in the past decade. Hanthawaddy and Henzada were the two most densely populated districts in the province.
Hanthawaddy, as it was constituted in 1911, consisted of a vast plain stretching up from the sea between the To (or China Bakir) mouth of the Ayeyarwady River and the Pegu Yomas. Except the tract of land lying between the Pegu Yomas on the east and the Hlaing river, the country was intersected by numerous tidal creeks; many of which were navigable by large boats and some by steamers. The headquarters of the district was in Rangoon, which was also the sub-divisional headquarters. The second sub-division had its headquarters at Insein, where there were large railway works. Cultivation was almost wholly confined to rice, but there were many vegetable and fruit gardens.
Today, Hanthawaddy may be considered a district of the city of Bago.
