The Best Myanmar Backpacking Guide

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.

Now for those who are into hiking in nature, then maybe a great place to visit would be Lake Inle. Aside from having a very nice boat ride around the river, one can also go to the forests that would surround the lake. Of course these forests are also untouched by urbanization which means that there are still a lot of beautiful flowers and animals that can be found in that area.

For those bargain hunters that would want to find good buys on handmade items, then Mandalay is definitely the place to go. This busy little street is filled with a lot of people and a lot of markets as well wherein one can find a lot of great buys. Now there are a lot of handicrafts and handmade accessories that one can buy for his loved ones at home.

For those who are into the beach scene, they can go take a look at Ngapali Beach. Now do take note that this beach is not one of the luxury beaches with big classy resorts like in other countries. This is a great beach if one would want some quiet time to just relax.

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.
