years.

Irrawaddy delta. You

pagodas and temples
of Bagan in the dry

rainy season
at monsoon
time.
Myanmar and
the rest of
the world
sometimes
don't
understand
each other,
but this has
political
reasons.
Myanmar is also a
excellent
adventure
destination into
the
Myanmar
Himalayas of the
north and other
remote areas. To do
some Myanmar

The main reason
people travel to
Myanmar is
because of the great
culture, interesting
people – there are
over 130 different
ethnic groups – and
this marvelous

like the ancient
temple and pagoda
city of
Bagan in
central Myanmar.
Mandalay
Travel to Bagan
is a must and your
Myanmar tour wont be
completed without
having a look for
this remnants of a
great Myanmar empire
from the time we
call middle age.
Travel to Yangon
is your entry for
your Myanmar travel.
Yangon is not the
capital of Myanmar
anymore, now the
capital of Myanmar
is
Naypyidaw
is here: a remote
village in central
east Myanmar.
But
Yangon and
Mandalay are still
the main centers of
Myanmar. Without
travel to Mandalay a
Myanmar travel tour
would be missing
something.
In
general the usual
Myanmar travel tour
always goes from
Yangon to Bagan,
from there to
Mandalay, continuing
to Inle Lake and
back to Yangon, all
done with
Myanmar
airlines.
Of course
there are plenty of
other interesting
Myanmar traveling
spots like Ngapali
Beach, Chaung Tha
Beach, Ngwe Saung
Beach and
other
pristine
beaches
along the
coast of
Myanmar or
Burma and on
the over 800
islands in
the
Myeik or Mergui
archipelago all the
way down to
Kawthaung,
the southernmost
town in Myanmar.
On the
west coast
of Myanmar
your travel
lead you to
the ancient
Kingdom of
Arakan,
today
Rakhine with
the great
temple and
pagoda city
of
Mrauk U.
There are
famous
pilgrim
travel
destinations
in Myanmar,
like
the
Shwedagon
Pagoda,
the
Kyaiktyio
Pagoda
and the
Maha Muni
temple
and Pagoda
in Mandalay
plus
countless
other
Buddhist and
Nats
shrines.
Visit
Mount Popa
the abode of
the Nats.
A other
travel
experience
in Myanmar
is a river
cruise
between
Mandalay and
Bagan
with the
"Road to
Mandalay"
river
cruiser,
real great
but very
expensive
and so on.
Just browse
our Myanmar

you will
find what
you look
for. Myanmar

Myanmar and

--Website content - Our website is
mainly based on Myanmar pictures, photo
and
video
together with text content
reflecting the real
Myanmar and the ancient culture, not
just assembled text copies of other websites.
Since its simply true that a picture
says more than thousand words. This
is particular valid in Myanmar or Burma
with all this diversity and the richness
of colors practically everywhere.
In
particular
after the
monsoon
flood
disappears
and the
greenery
appears in
November.
This is the
best time to
travel
Myanmar
anyway.
Plenty of our Myanmar pictures
and photos are dedicated
to Myanmar culture. Myanmar or former Burma is a ancient culture
with lots of outstanding travel places.
Many Myanmar travel and
tour destination are conveniently
located just on the banks of the
Ayeyarwady or Irrawaddy river, like
Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay and others.
--Geography -
Myanmar
or Burma is the largest
country in
Southeast
Asia.
Myanmar runs some 2090 km
(1300 miles) north and
south, from the lofty
mountains of Tibet to the
rolling tropical waters of
the Indian ocean. Breadth
wise, Myanmar draws
out 925 km (575 miles) from
the Naaf river on the
Bangladesh border, to the
Mekong river that separates
Myanmar from Laos.
A horseshoe of
hill-offshoots from the
Tibetan
Himalayas forms the
strong natural frontier of
Myanmar with
Bangladesh and India in the
west, with
China in the
north and northeast, and
with Laos and Thailand in
the east and southeast.
Myanmar
has one attraction no
other south east Asian
country has and this is snow
and high mountains with a
great Himalayan flora and
fauna, just now discovered
as a great. The right
Myanmar travel agent for
this is
Myanmar Explore.
Snow-capped Hkakaborazi
(5885 meters or
19296 ft.), the
highest peak in
Myanmar and South
East Asia, lies in Naungmong township, Kachin
State, at the northern most tip of the country.
Just a few miles to the
south of the tip, there is the
famous Diphu
Pass, the strategic point where the three borders of
China, India and Myanmar meet.
Mountain streams from
these Myanmar Himalaya slopes flow south to make the legendary
twin-rivulets Meikha and
Malikha, which later
conjoin (just above the Kachin capital Myitkyina) to form the famous river
Ayeyarwady -
Irrawaddy in
Myanmar -
Burma.
The
Myanmar Himalayas mountain streams offer
the perfect environment for adventure tours/ trekking. Myanmar's part of
the famous Himalayan are still real genuine since no foreigners until about
7 years ago have been there, with the exception
of some British adventurers during
colonial times.
It is necessary to mention that it is not that travel to
the
Myanmar Himalayas was not allowed. It was not possible because there
was simply no infrastructure for travel in the Myanmar Himalayas.
During colonial times in Myanmar the British implemented a basic
infrastructure for travel in Burma for administrative and military
purpose, but when the British vanished from Myanmar also the travel
infrastructure did. There have been several excellent books from Mr. Kingdon
- Ward, a British botanist and others published in the 194x ties on travel
the Myanmar Himalayas, but all are not available anymore.
Myanmar Himalayas
are for the people who have
been everywhere, seen
everything but want to have a controlled risk about new frontiers, not
ending up with some mad people like in

Ayayarwady or Irrawaddy Delta Pagoda
--Rivers- The
Ayeyarwady or
Irrawaddy valley constitutes Myanmar proper.
Running
mostly from north to south, three mountain systems
in
Myanmar cut through.
- the
Western or Rakhine Yoma, the
Bago Yoma and the
Shan
Plateau -
divide three parallel river valleys, the
Ayeyarwady or
Irrawaddy,
the Sittaung and the
Thanlwin.
The
great Ayeyarwaddy or Irrawaddy river flows down
three different climatic
region of
Myanmar - Burma: the
wooded Kachin heights in
the temperate north, the
dry belt that starts from the old capital Mandalay
to the ancient Pyu capital Pyi
(Prome), and lastly
the vast
flatness of the Ayeyarwaddy or Irrawaddy river delta.
These river
valleys, with their tributaries and distributaries,
all help to form the famous granaries of Myanmar,
ancient
and modern.

Nowadays,

Yangon,
the largest city in Myanmar and the main port of the country.
The total area of
Myanmar -
Burma covers
676, 577 sq. km (261,789 sq. miles), about the
size of Great Britain and France combined
together,
it doesn't
take to much effort since it
is possible to reach almost
any place in Myanmar by
Myanmar airlines plus train,
bus and local taxis.
The
premier travel destination
in Myanmar is Bagan, you
wont hardly find another
travel destination on the
planet with such great
panoramas and cultural
background.
Bagan is one of
the richest archaeological sites in Asia with about
2200 monuments still standing and some 1000 in
ruins, there were originally about 4500.
As many as 600 Bagan
monuments disappeared
over time into the

Don't listen to the "western media" who
tells you cant go here and there and everywhere,
this is pure nonsense of people who don't know
what they talk about.
Just look through this
Myanmar website, all the places I went on my own over
almost 20 years now, never ever anyone told me I
cant go to a certain place, if there where
problems on travel in Myanmar it was always in
terms of the almost non existing infrastructure.
What always get manipulated in the "western
media" is that when a journalist goes
to Myanmar he or she is more or less on working
and for working in a other country one need a
special visa, this is granted or not.
This is the
same in any
other country in this world including USA,
Europe etc. and I know that even the USA wont
grant a visa to a German journalist when he or
she try to make a certain investigation, that
means all the blame to Myanmar authorities just
doing the same like anyone elsewhere is bad and
manipulated "western" propaganda. Some time ago
I followed a case at LA Int. Airport where the
US immigration detained a German journalist
since she came in on a tourist travel visa, but
the US immigration didn't believe her and were
sure she came on writing about something related
to the US. They detained her and put her into
the next airplane back to Germany. The source
for this is the News Magazine, der Spiegel, the
biggest in Europe. Now nobody is interest in
this, but when the Myanmar authorities just do
the same, the whole "western media" screams,
especially the US guys and the British colonial
masters of the past. A bunch of hypocrites,
nothing else.
--Myanmar has great People
of about 130 different
ethnic groups.
A country is among other what the people present
and that means Myanmar is a great
country because it has great people.
Myanmar Photo
Myanmar vacations
Don't think
Myanmar or
Burmese people
live behind the mountain,
because they live in a very
isolated environment have a look here. There are
more than 130 different
ethnic groups in Myanmar or
Burma, we will mention the
main groups her, as there
are the Burmese, the Shan,
the Mon or Talaing.
Plus the
Karen, the Chin, the Kachin, the Salon
and a few more. About other
Myanmar people ethnic groups
pls. have a look through the
website. Here you also can
find the great
Myanmar photo.
Of these
Myanmar people the Burmese
are the most numerous.
It is the Burmese
idiosyncrasy that gives to
Myanmar its fascination and
its charm.
Of the
other Myanmar people ethnic
groups the smallest and
most backward are the Salon,
who inhabit the islands off
the southern coast, mainly
in the Mergui or Myeik
archipelago, further south
in Thailand they are called
Moken.
They are
probably the oldest
inhabitants from southern
Myanmar all the way down
to the Tarutao Islands on
the border between Thailand
and Malaysia..
Myanmar people came in by
three waves of
immigration from the north.
Of these the earliest is
represented by the Mon or
Talaing, who also stretched
all the way down to present
day Phuket Island in
southern Thailand, the right
extension to your Myanmar
vacations.
The second
and third wave of Myanmar
people were the Burmese and
the Shan. The Karen
stand in
a category
somewhat apart. The
Kachin are of the same Myanmar people
ethnic group as the Burmese, but their
descent into Burma came later.

The real problem of
the Myanmar or Burmese
people are the former
colonialists, the
British who
suppressed any
development of the
country unless it would
serve their colonial
purpose. Before the
Brits came Myanmar was
about on the same level
as Japan under the Meiji
dynasty of the same
time.
After
the Brits did their bad
colonial job, it didn't
end there, they
exiled to India the
Myanmar or Burmese king
who was the integration
figure for several
hundreds years, the
result was that Burma
somehow fell apart, on
top of it the Brits
manipulated the Karen
and others to stand up
against the Burmese, to
feed their colonial
purpose, like the old
Romans
did, divide and conquer.
If
this was not already
enough, the Brits and
USA brought
the 2. world war into
Myanmar together with
theJapanese
and Chinese, now the
helter skelter was
perfect.
Today
this European and US
warmonger scream against
the Myanmar government
because they give a
damn what the European
and US are telling, the
present Myanmar
government learned the
very bad lesson from the
past. The Brits and US
buttheads never learned anything
as everyone can see in
the Iraq. This is a very
short historical
monologue,
more on Myanmar History
is here.
If you travel to Myanmar there
is no way around to have an excellent travel
insurance like this. It is not
because of any particular
problem.
Myanmars are more civilized than this stone age
mountain cowboy tribe in Europe, called Swiss e.g. because
Swiss let you die in the ditch if you are a
foreigner and wont hand over money first. You know,
the head quarter of the red cross is in Switzerland,
ha ha what a bunch of hypocrites. I am not yoking,
exactly that happen to me in Geneva, in the Hospital
Cantonal. They pushed me back into the taxi when I
went to the hospital for help after a bee stung me
in the neck and I almost couldn't breath anymore and told
me I should get lost, the international Red Cross is
located in Geneva. Luckily I didn't die because
finally some others at the French side helped me.
Swiss are notorious bloodsucker who bunker foreign
money but hate foreigners.
The head of security of the Noga Hilton in Geneva,
where I stayed told me once..you fucking foreigner
!!
