Myanmar, Country Information
Myanmar, a country of myth, mystery and mist, formerly known as Burma, is now officially known as Union of Myanmar lies strategically between the two great civilizations - India and China. It has opened her door and invited all foreign involvements in every aspect, Tourism Industry in particular. Second biggest country in Southeast Asia, hosting a population of 50 millions, Myanmar is a picture of different colors in perfect combination. 135 ethnic groups living in the 14 provinces (7States & 7Divisions) has become a major attraction to explore. Not only that so, the colorful Myanmar is studded with pagodas and temples that dazzled you and no one fails to say, "THAT'S AMAZING!"

Climate is influenced by the annual monsoon that comes in regularly from the Bay of Bengal. As a result, Myanmar has three seasons - hot, rainy and cold. Due to different topographical feature, temperature as well as rain is different from region to region. The provinces in the hilly regions have pleasant climate while the central low land share relatively hot climate. The same is true in annual rain. The southwestern coast of Myanmar receives rain 200 inches per year whilst the central flat land receives less than 20 inches per year.

History of Myanmar is no wonder mingled with legend. Chronicles mention that the two bothers from India, descendants of Buddha, established the capital in Tagaung some 2500 years ago situated in the far north of today Myanmar. Another version is more logistic. The people of what we called Myanmar used to live in the southwestern part of China. They moved down the south, came in the central flat land of Myanmar, and established the capital in Bagan 1000 years ago. No matter what had been, Bagan is the central to all Myanmar in all regards - history, literature, language, music, art, architecture, etc.

Tourism had been highly promoted a decade ago culminated in 1996, Visit Myanmar Year. Rules and regulations have become more relax to cope with changing atmosphere. Infrastructure has been and is being upgraded. International airlines are plying regularly. Hotels sprang up all over Myanmar to accommodate the travelers with the best service they have ever had. Getting visa for Myanmar is a complicated procedure in the days of yore. But, now you can get the visa without taking much of your time.

Destinations in Myanmar are unparallel to other countries in the region that pulsate you within and without such as Yangon - the capital of Myanmar, a thriving seaport in the British time, can still be traced back the colonial atmosphere with modern way of life, Bagan(Pagan) - the centre/origin of recorded Myanmar culture and literature ranking the most spectacular world heritage zone, Mandalay - the last capital (now the second largest) of Myanmar kings is the centre of arts and crafts to study, Lake Inle - metaphorically know as the paradise of water world, situated in the Shan Plateau. That's to name just a few. We would welcome you to see more and more.
