experience Myanmar for yourself, seeing is believing

Nov. 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Myanmar or Burma remains one of the most mysterious and undiscovered destinations in the world. A land of pagodas, of breathtaking beauty and charm yet only recently emerging into the modern world.

For those fascinated with countries and people in the center of current geopolitical events or those with an interest in history, architecture or religions, Myanmar is a wonderful destination.

My first trip to Myanmar, arranged by a local tour operator, Luxury Travel Ltd, focused on the country’s classic destinations in 10 days: Yangon and its environs, including a half-day at the Shwedagon Pagoda complex; Mandalay, including the world’s longest teak bridge; Bagan, the birthplace of the country; Inle Lake to explore its fascinating maze of communities built on stilts; and three days and nights sailing along the Ayeyarwady River aboard Orient-Express’ luxury river cruise, The Road to Mandalay.
Accommodations throughout tour journey  — The Governor’s Residence in Yangon; the Aureum Palace Hotel & Resort in Bagan; and the Pristine Lotus Spa Resort on Inle Lake, Orient-Express— were world class in terms of both facilities and staff.

My wife and I travelled fairly extensively during our working lives, and are continuing to do so in retirement.  Luxury Travel is among the very best of all the luxury travel companies we have dealt with to date. One email describing what we were looking for and luxury travel advisor Pham Ha designed a wonderful trip for us. We had wonderful guides & drivers in excellent vehicles waiting at every stop, took care of all our internal travel, made excellent hotel & itinerary suggestions.

Whether referred to as Burma or Myanmar, the destination proved timeless and one that your seasoned travelers should experience for yourself.
