When it comes to beautiful destinations, Burma is one of the most beautiful places in Asia. It’s a country with many different landscapes and cultures, which makes it perfect for those who are looking for an adventure! In this blog post, we’ll talk about some of the best travel destinations in Burma.
Sule Pagoda – Sule Pagoda is an amazing beautiful pagoda in the heart of Yangon. The golden pagoda glitters in the sun, and makes for a beautiful photo opportunity when walking around downtown!
Mon State – Mon people are one of six ethnic groups that live in Burma. Although there isn’t much to do or see in this town, it’s still worth visiting if you have time while traveling through Burma. There aren’t any real tourist attractions here but it’s nice to experience what life is like outside of major cities like Yangon and Mandalay
Mrauk U – Mrauk U was once the capital of Rakhine kingdom before becoming part of British-ruled India until 1947 (and then became part of Union Military Government of Burma until 1948). The beautiful temples here are well-preserved, which gives it a unique atmosphere. This is also one of the most popular travel destinations in Rakhine state.
The Golden Rock – Sagaing Hill contains many beautiful pagodas and monasteries that make for an amazing visit during your time in Mandalay! One of the best places to see is the Shwe Kyet Yet Pagoda, followed by Kaunghmudaw Pagoda (which means “1000 Buddhas”). Atop this hill lies another beautiful site called Mount Popa Taungkalat Monastery where you can enjoy panoramic views over the entire area. Located right next to this monastery at its base is soe Lwin Oo Cave, where you can enjoy beautiful stalactites and the sound of water running through rocks.
Monywa – Monywa is another beautiful town in Myanmar that’s well known for its pagodas including an enormous standing Buddha image called the Sulamani Temple. The Golden Rock lies just outside this city as does Naung Kan Village which has beautiful walking trails surrounded by nature! Nearby are many other beautiful temples like Mya Than Taung Pagoda or Kyauk Ka Lay Pagoda to visit while traveling around Sagaing region.
Kyaikhtisaung – Kyaiktiyo (or “Golden Rock”) is a very special place located on top of Mount Phousi right at the edge of the beautiful Bago Yoma mountain range. This is another beautiful pagoda in Myanmar that’s centered around a huge boulder, which appears to be balancing on its end while sitting atop some smaller rocks (which makes it look like it’s floating).
Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda – Kyaiktiyo village contains many beautiful temples and monasteries including the famous Golden Rock at the top of Mount Phousi! The best time to visit this area is during pilgrimage season when thousands of Buddhist pilgrims flock here to pay their respects. If you’re looking for an adventure with beautiful scenery, don’t miss visiting Kyaiktiyo region while traveling through Burma!
