Myanmar’s Mysteries Voyage

12 Nights in Myanmar

When Myanmar opened its doors to tourism, some feared it would change too much, too fast. Thankfully this country has retained much of its authenticity. In Yangon, visit the Pagoda as monks pray and the sun sets, a sight you’ll never forget. For a real-life view of the city, take a ride on the Circular Train where you’ll see a wide swath of daily life as you chug through urban neighborhoods and rural villages. And be sure to take an excursion to Bagan along the Ayeyarwady River, a stunning site of thousands of ancient temples and stupas. It’s simply spectacular.

More good reasons to join this voyage: the white-sand beaches and tropical jungles of Phuket and a day in Penang, where you can take a hair-raising funicular ride or visit the colorful old trading center at George Town. Don’t leave without tasting Asam Laksa, Penang’s sweet and sour rice noodle soup. Kuala Lumpur picks up the pace with great shopping, specialty coffee shops and stunning views from Petronas Towers, the city’s iconic 88-story landmark. Plan for extra time in Singapore, a food lover’s paradise that elevates Malaysian, Chinese and Indian cuisine to a new level of delicious inventiveness.
