Myanmar

With its uncrowded white sand beaches, golden temples, jungle set ruins and natural beauty, Myanmar (Burma) is a fantastic family destination.

Explore Bagan’s many temples and pagodas - soar over the spectacular sights by balloon flight or tour the ruins up close with a local guide.

Take a tail boat trip or try canoeing on the calm waters at Inle lake. Visit floating gardens, pick up souvenirs at a market, or have tea at a local house and learn about local traditions and daily life. Visit an elephant conservation project in Kalaw, which protects and preserves the habitats of these magnificent animals. Assist the mahout with washing and feeding them in this former hill station.

Coastal Myanmar is the region’s best kept secret. Families will love Ngapali Beach, one of the last few unspoilt coastlines in Southeast Asia. Snorkel, dive, swim or just unwind in this laid-back beach paradise.
