Learn more about hotels in Myanmar

Myanmar, the nation once known as Burma, is the largest country in Southeast Asia's mainland and home to approximately 54 million people. It shares borders with a diverse collection of countries, including Bangladesh, India, China, Laos, and Thailand. Yangon, Myanmar's most bustling metropolis, and Naypyidaw, the official capital, are among its notable cities.

For centuries, Myanmar has been a melting pot of cultures and civilisations, with the Pagan Kingdom in the 1050s establishing the Burmese language, culture, and Theravada Buddhism's dominance in the country. Despite some of its turbulent history marked by periods of unrest and military rule, Myanmar's undeniable charm is a testament to the enduring resilience of its people.

Unearth joy and fascination as you overlook Myanmar's luxuriant landscapes, from teeming cities to heart-stopping natural vistas. The country’s rich archaeological history, from the remnants of the Pyu city-states to the astonishing breadth of over 10,000 Buddhist temples in the Pagan capital zone, offers plenty for the discerning traveller. It's a journey through time, retelling an intricate story of multi-ethnic polities, cultural influences, and extraordinary resilience.

When to visit Myanmar

To truly appreciate Myanmar's rich tapestry of culture and history, choose your travel time wisely. The dry season from October through May is often considered the prime time to visit, with the weather being conducive for exploring the country's outdoors, boutique bazaars, and spiritual landmarks. January is particularly popular with travellers as the weather is pleasantly warm and dry across the country.

Should you prefer travelling during the monsoon, river journeys on the Chindwin peak in this period. For those braving the heat, the month of April might bring soaring temperatures, but it also features the vibrant Thingyan Water Festival - a real treat for the senses. On your visit, don't miss out on the plethora of cultural events and festivals, from the grand Ananda Pagoda Festival in January to the radiant Full Moon Day of Tazaungmone/Tazaungdaing Festival in November, characterising Myanmar’s rich cultural tapestry.
