A Guide To Myanmar Backpacking

By Timothy Stevens


Myanmar, or formerly known as Burma, has been one of the most beautiful places for backpackers to visit when they would go on vacation. This country is one of the most uncovered ones in South East Asia. If one would want to go Myanmar backpacking and see the sights, then here is a guide on some of the places to go to and visit.

Number one on the list of places to visit would of course be the city of Yangon. It is in this very place that one will be able to see the biggest pagoda in the country known as the Shwedagon Pagoda which is the only gold colored pagoda in Myanmar. This pagoda is known to be the most amazing of all pagodas in the entire region of South East Asia.

Now if one would want to get a chance to see some really nice scenery, then he might want to visit Kyaiktiyo. It is in this place that one will be able to see the famous Golden Rock. One can stay overnight at the small town of Kinpun before he goes out to the wilderness and do some hiking until he reaches the beautiful Golden Rock.

Yet another very beautiful place to visit would be the young and vibrant streets of Mandalay. Definitely in the list of nicest places to visit would be the U Bien Bridge which happens to be one of the most romantic spots that a lot of couples would go to for a visit. Of course one may also check out Mandalay Hill which is the most beautiful viewpoint in the entire country.

Now for those who love visiting the temples, Bagan is the best place to visit because Bagan has around a thousand temples to visit. All of these temples are very beautiful and a delight to the eyes. Also, one can ride a horse carriage and ride around the area while checking out some of the temples there in the area.

If one is more into the nature scene, then a place that he will definitely want to visit is Lake Inle. Lake Inle is the center of forests and a lot of wilderness. If one is into hiking, then he will enjoy trekking from Kalaw to Nyaung Shwe after he comes from the lake. The lake is also a great place for him to relax and chill.

If one would want to enjoy a beach scene, then he would most likely want to visit Ngapali Beach. This beach is not like a resort that is full of luxurious hotels and such. It is an untouched beach that is full of huts and trees.

So as one can see, there are actually a lot of sights to see here and a lot of great places to go to. If one would make his way to this country, he will without a doubt be able to enjoy himself to no ends. This country is definitely an untapped oil well that needs a lot of exploring.
