Things to do in Myanmar >>Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred Buddhist stupa in Myanmar, situated in the center of Yangon. It is a must-see for any traveler who comes here for its bedazzling golden elements.
Many locals also like to come here after school or work, grabbing the most impressive moment at sunset when the sunlight changes against the golden structure.

The best way to see Bagan is by riding a hot air balloon. It is a big cost but very much worth it for a bird's eye view above the countryside and countless temples.

FAQs about Planning a Myanmar Trip
Travel to Myanmar is open, and visitors continue to enjoy the rich culture and pristine nature of the country. The tourist centers with the main attractions in Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake are great places to visit that are safe for tourists.
Visitors to the country are warmly welcomed by local people. You'll find everyone happy to share their culture with visitors. Maintaining a safe environment for tourism is important for Myanmar, and people will do their best to ensure your stay is trouble-free.
It is still best to exercise caution. Stay up to date on the most recent information and follow recommended travel advisories. It's best to avoid travel in rural areas, and the northern and northwestern provinces.
The easiest way to get to Myanmar is to fly into Yangon. Direct flights are available from major transportation hubs such as Dubai, Seoul, Beijing, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur. Connections from regional capitals like Hanoi, Bangkok, Vientiane, and Phnom Penh are also available.
A limited number of international routes are available to Mandalay. Flights can be booked from Kunming and Bangkok. Domestic flights between Yangon and Mandalay are available daily.
Tourist visas are required for international travelers visiting Myanmar. Travelers are recommended to apply through Myanmar's eVisa program. Visas are typically issued within three business days and are valid for a single-entry stay of up to 28 days.
To apply for the E-visa, go to the official government website, and upload a scan of your passport information page and photo. Provide proof of a return ticket and hotel reservation and pay the 50 USD fee. The visa will be emailed to you when completed, and you can show the electronic copy upon arrival at the airport.
Myanmar has a tropical climate with three seasons. From November to February, the weather is cooler and dry. Average temperatures in Mandalay are between 23°C and 26°C, with almost no rain at all. Planning outdoor activities is easy, and conditions are ideal for hiking or exploring the cities.
Some travelers prefer the shoulder season when fewer tourists are visiting. Dry conditions continue through March and April, but it starts to get hot. Yangon sees temperatures in the high 30s. October is still relatively cool, averaging 28°C, but there is some lingering rain from the monsoon season.
Plan on 6 to 12 days for a tour of Myanmar. The best highlights to see are in Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, and Inle Lake, so you'll need a couple of days in each place.
Start in Yangon with sites like Shwedagon Pagoda and a trip to Kandawgyi Nature Park. Then, fly to Bagan to see the city's Buddhist ruins and beautiful lacquerware in the rural village of Phwasaw and Minanthu.
Mandalay needs in-depth exploration. Visit Atumashi Monastery and U Bein Bridge and see the traditional bronze casting and woodcarving workshops. From Mandalay, you can make the journey to Inle Lake and bask in the pristine environment and tranquil pagodas.
Currently, traveling to Myanmar is more affordable than it has been in the past, due to a decrease in tourism resulting from the ongoing civil conflict.
I believe this is the best time to visit Myanmar, as the reduced number of tourists offers a unique opportunity to experience the country in a more intimate and authentic way.
However, it’s important to travel with a local travel agency, like ours, to ensure a safe and well-organized experience.
Budget around 30-50 USD per day for an average trip in Myanmar. Food, transportation, and tourist attractions are very affordable in Myanmar, but hotel prices can raise the total cost.
Comfortable hotels can be found between 25 and 60 USD per night. The quality can vary a lot, so check online reviews before booking.
Street food and dining in local restaurants cost around 1-5 USD per person. The average taxi fare around Yangon is usually 2-3 USD.
Myanmar's currency is the Kyat (MMK). At recent exchange rates, 100 USD can be exchanged for 209,865 MMK. Some establishments in tourist areas will accept USD, but it is recommended to use local currency.
Exchange rates given at restaurants and hotels are not always favorable. It is better to find the best rate at a bank or exchange counter.
Myanmar's tourist centers are safe places.
Crime is minimal, limited to opportunistic pottery crimes like pickpocketing and bag snatching. Keep an eye on your belongings, and exercise a general level of caution.
The ongoing troubles in the country are unpredictable but mostly affecting rural areas. Tourist attractions remain open and safe to visit. Like anywhere else, avoid isolated or unlit areas at night.
It's best to fly between different cities rather than traveling overland. Staying up to date with the local situation can keep you informed on places to avoid, but flying will better ensure you remain in safe areas.
Local culture is conservative. You won't see many people in shorts or sleeveless tops, and it's best to follow along. The longyi is preferred by both men and women. It's a single piece of cloth wrapped around the lower body like a skirt. Perfectly adapted for the climate, it will keep you cool.
Modest clothing is essential when visiting temples and religious sites. Clothing must cover your knees and shoulders. Hats, shoes, and socks must be removed before entering.
Do smile and say hello, learn some basic phrases in the local language for greeting and thanking people.
Do be respectful of local traditions, people in Myanmar are proud of their traditional practices.
Do ask for permission before taking people's photos, and don't interrupt anyone engaged in meditation or prayer.
Do support local small businesses like restaurants, spas, and taxis.
Don't ask people about the current political situation.
Don't buy antiques. Support Myanmar's cultural heritage by buying arts and crafts.
Don't touch anyone on the head, and women should avoid touching monks in any way.
Don't engage in any public displays of affection.
Independent travel is allowed in Myanmar. Do your research first and plan a clear itinerary, but once you're there, you should have little trouble making arrangements. Taxis and motorcycles can take you around in the cities, and flying between different destinations is straightforward.
Booking travel through a local agency is recommended, however. The situation in Myanmar is complex, and a local guide will be up to date on the latest travel conditions. Local expertise also helps for a smoother, and more immersive experience. Guides can show you the hidden gems and provide insight, background, and history of the places you visit.
