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 things that tourists would really have to visit in this country would be the ancient temples that are not spoiled by industrialization. Now one can really find a lot of beautiful ancient temples there in Bagan city. There are around four thousand temples that one can visit and most of them are even abandoned so which means that if one would want to have a real adventure, he can have one here.

If one is into quiet and peaceful walks, then walking around the streets of Yangon is the ideal activity for him. The country had banned motorcycles from moving inside this street because of a dangerous incident that happened before. Of course aside from walking around, one can also see the very famous Shwedagon Pagoda which is the best golden Pagoda in the entire region.

If one is into nature trekking, then definitely one of the places that he must visit would be Lake Inle. This is basically a beautiful lake wherein one can use a boat to ride around the lake and explore the forests surrounding the lake. One can go around the forest and take a look at some of the beautiful flora and fauna that can be found in the natural areas that would surround this famous lake.

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.

Now those who are into beaches, this place has the very peaceful Ngapali beach. Now do remember that this beach is not a beach resort with a lot of people in it. It is in fact just a very secluded beach that just has a few huts and a few guesthouses for the guests to stay in.

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 if one would go to Myanmar, he does not need to spend that much to enjoy himself because this is still a developing country. This is definitely a place wherein one can have the adventure of a lifetime. A place that all backpackers should definitely go to.
