Myanmar Highlights

A curated look at the best Myanmar has to offer. These are the destinations that consistently stand out — places with real character, great experiences, and something worth going out of your way for.

Mine Thauk Bridge

Mine Thauk Bridge

Mine Thauk Village comprises a series of huts that stand on stilts, which are connected to the mainland by a 450-yard (411-m) teak bridge. It’s known as a “mini-U Bein,” and makes a good destination for a boating tour on Inle Lake. Long boats crowd the sides of the bridge, and give residents easy access to the lake.

Inle Lake

Inle Lake

Nestled in the high Shan Hills of eastern Myanmar, the breathtaking natural wonder known as Inle Lake serves as the center of a bustling boating community. Although a few things around the lake can be reached by car, the only real way to experience this lake culture is to hire a boat and immerse you.

5-Day Market

5-Day Market

5-Day Market at Inle Lake showcases not only the handicrafts that are native to these highlands, but also the colorful cultures that live here. Trips here allow you to see an authentically Balinese market. It’s called a “five-day” market because the location of the market changes every day of the 5-day week, but it’s a regular rotation so locals can tell you where to go.

Kandawgyi Lake

Kandawgyi Lake

Kandawgyi Lake and its surrounding park are just north of downtown, not far from the Shwedagon Pagoda. With its giant shady trees and large expanses of open space, this city park offers an almost jungle-like escape from the metropolis. Gardens and parks surround the green banks of the lake, which are popular with the local people as a place to socialize, along with a few cultural attractions to visit.
