Myanmar Backpacking For The Newbies

By Timothy Stevens


Burma, or now known as Myanmar, is an extremely exotic place in the South East of Asia that many travelers love to go to. Now this country is actually an uncovered gold mine of amazing places and sights to visit. Of course if one is interested to go Myanmar backpacking, then there are some places that he definitely cannot miss out on.

One of the most popular places that can be found in this country is Yangon. In this place, one will be able to see the Shwedagon Pagoda which is the largest Pagoda in the entire country and the only big golden pagoda in the country. This pagoda is known to be even more beautiful than the other pagodas that can be seen in other South East Asian countries.

Another place that backpackers would often fancy is the Kyaiktiyo with the world famous Golden Rock. If one is a little bit adventurous, he can stay in the little town there known as Kinpun town and visit the Golden Rock a day after. There are also a lot of great hiking trails to explore here if one is into hiking and wilderness trekking.

Now if one would want to enter a rather busy street, then he might want to visit Mandalay. Mandalay is home to the U Bien Bridge which is a very beautiful spot that many couples flock to because of the romantic atmosphere that it gives off. Of course, there would also be the very beautiful Mandalay Hill that can be found in the outer sections of Mandalay.

Bagan is the area in Myanmar that has the most temples with around two thousand temples that can be seen. If one would want to get around, he can actually ride on a horse carriage so that he may experience the authenticity of the place. He can take a horse carriage to take a look at the really beautiful temples that can be found in the area.

If one would prefer the nature setting, then the place he would most likely want to go to would be Lake Inle. Lake Inle is probably the most peaceful place to visit because the lake itself is very serene and it is surrounded by so many trees. Of course if one would want to go hiking, then he can go from Lake Inle to Kalaw and over to Nyaung Shwe.

For the beach bums out there, the place to go to would be Ngapali Beach. Now one has to know that Ngapali beach is not a luxury beach with hotels or swimming pools. It is actually a very bare beach with huts but retains its charm because it is not urbanized.

So for those who would want to travel to the beautiful country of myanmar, here are some really great sights to see and awesome places to visit. One will definitely be able to enjoy himself in these places especially if he loves a decent adventure. At least with this guide, one will know how to go about while backpacking.
