A Myanmar Backpacking Guide For Dummies

By Beryl Dalton


Myanmar is one of the best places to go backpacking because it is unlike other more urbanized countries in the South East Asia. This place has a lot of exotic places to visit that have still not been touched by urbanization. So for those who would want to go Myanmar backpacking, here is a short guide that will help tourists know which places are the best to visit while on the trip.

One of the greatest tourist attractions in the country would of course be the temples because this country is a very religious place. The great thing about these temples is that they are actually not touched by anyone which means that whatever they were before, they still are now. These temples can be found in Bagan city and they are mostly abandoned which means that one can have a real life adventure.

Yangon is yet another place that one should never miss out on his travels to this country. This is one of the most peaceful places in the entire country because motorcycles are banned in this place which makes walking very peaceful and comfortable. It is also home to the Shwedagon Pagoda which is actually the most beautiful golden pagoda in the entire South East Asia.

If one is into nature trekking, then definitely one of the places that he must visit would be Lake Inle. This is basically a beautiful lake wherein one can use a boat to ride around the lake and explore the forests surrounding the lake. One can go around the forest and take a look at some of the beautiful flora and fauna that can be found in the natural areas that would surround this famous lake.

Of course before one would go back from his trip, one of the things that he has to do would be to buy some souvenirs for his loved ones. One of the best places to go for this type of purpose would of course be Mandalay as this street has a lot of interesting markets. This place is quite hectic with a lot of people but one can find a lot of treasures here.

There is also a beach scene for the people who would want to feel the breeze of the ocean and the sand at his feet. The Ngapali beach is one of the most peaceful beaches in the entire country. It is not a crowded beach and it is a great place for one to relax and rejuvenate.

Now when one would go there, he should always try out the exotic street food there. The streets are the best places to find great food because these are the real exotic food that cannot be found in restaurants at all. The best part of it all is that the food here is very cheap and anyone can buy it.

Now as one can see, this is definitely a place that one should go to on his backpacking journey to Asia. One can see a lot of sights that cannot be found in a lot of other places in the world. He will see how a developing country looks like.
