This is a must see in Yangon, if you at night you'll be surprised the number of worshippers. Ladies you will need to wear an ankle long skirt and cover up your shoulders. Just beautiful!!
Well executed tour. Accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well located. Recommended restaurants were outstanding. Guides were helpful, informative, and friendly.
I and my mate Ifti visited this awesome place during our Myanmar leg of our tour of five South-East Asian countries. This place from start to finish is just mind-blowing. There are many Pagodas and shrines which are very richly and intricately decorated as well as many statues of Buddha and other holy men. Statues and the shrines are almost all covered with pure gold leaves which seem glowing in bright sunshine. Although this place is teaming with visitors all the time it still has a calm and serene atmosphere all around it. We enjoyed our visit a lot here so will recommend the visitors of this city to come and pay a visit to this magnificent place at least once.
Inle lake is a very cool and reasonably authentic place to visit. We took a 6usd pp 8h boat ride on the lake, some of it is still real, other parts are just a shopping tour. Well worth to visit here!
This is my first time, visiting a pagoda that has an elevator inside. The pagoda has a lots of people on the day i visited but it was not so noisy at all. Everyone paid attention to their tour guides or praying. We also had an interesting experience by standing at our birthday corner and prayed. We both felt so peaceful when we were here!
Selecting among all the temples is as hard as you can easily get templed out. some are really amazing, make sure you have a great guide. We had Bun Von (look for yethutun) also a driver and great photographer. He showed us small unique frescoed pagodas as well as the most famous
I have been multiple times; day and night. I prefer evening when the sun is setting and night time since it is more iconic. The guide will tell you some interesting part of the temple. About the Buddha's relics, the gem stone at the top of the Pagoda and the history. You can negotiate a good deal Shorts are not allowed. If in shorts you will be given a traditional wear. Also footwear is not allowed, you will have to leave shoes outside
For those who are deeply interested in cultural and spiritual events, choosing tours and taking part in festivals will be one of the best ways to enjoy holiday.

The best time to visit Myanmar is from November to February as the cool breeze blows most of the country. On the other hand, March to May is hotter, especially in the plains near Bagan and Mandalay. The temperatures also change by altitude so the hill stations, lakes and Himalayan foothills are far cooler than the southern lowland and coastal regions.
Others are in the rainy season, especially, sometimes at the peak of this season, some regions become inaccessible and some beaches have to suffer the high winds and heavy rainfall that batter the coast annually.
In Myanmar, the culinary style of the coastal region differs from inland areas. The coastal region, including Yangon, fish sauce and ngapi (fermented seafood) are more favored. For inland provinces, they often use more meat and sometimes fish and shrimp. Rice is the main course of their meals.
A traditional Myanmar meal includes a bowl of soup, rice, several meat curries, and ngapi yay with tozaya (vegetables for dipping).
Myanmar cuisine concepts are inspired by neighboring countries such as China, India and Thailand. The identity of Myanmar food is identified by their own cooking and processing methods. Moreover, the myriad local ethnic minorities also have their distinct culinary, which are worth experiencing.

When mentioning Myanmar cuisine, it is a big mistake when we skip Tea leaf salad or Lephet - the most famous dish of Burmese. The dish is versatile to be eaten as a snack, an appetizer or, coupled with a plate of rice or even a stimulant to prevent sleep.
Locals use a repertoire of ingredients, transform and process them in diverse ways, creating unique dishes not found in any other cuisine. Besides Lephet, to have a perfect Myanmar tour, visitors should seek out Shan-style rice - rice cooked with turmeric, Tea shops, Burmese curry, Nangyi thoke, Mohinga, etc.
