Erstwhile Burma, Myanmar is in a time warp, golden pagodas, dilapidated colonial buildings, vintage taxis and horse carts, all give you the feel of Old Asia. Sitting at the crossroads between India and China, Myanmar is a country of rare, unspoilt and breathtaking beauty.
The country offers virgin jungles, snow-capped mountains and pristine beaches, combined with a rich and glorious heritage spanning more than two thousand years. Myanmar puppets (marionettes), antique lacquer ware pieces, unique tapestries, good quality woodcraft make great buys. The colourful bazaars, enchanting festivals and dances, the magnetic charm of the people in this "Land of Pagodas" will definitely make you go back for more.
