Burma Holidays & Tours 2012 & 2013

Although still under the government of an unelected military regime, Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese pro-Democracy leader, has recently given her blessing to the return of tourism to the country, a move endorsed by the Free Burma movement. As a result this little-visited country, the largest in South-East Asia, offers an untouched treasure trove of exotic pagodas and temples to explore. Myanmar's culture is largely a result of heavy Indian and Chinese influences intertwined with local traditions which can be seen throughout the country, from the smallest village to the increasingly modern cities of Rangoon and Mandalay.
