    The Warmth of Humanity in Inle Lake, Myanmar

    June 22, 2018 / No Comments

    My journey through Myanmar was a memorable one, not simply due to the abundance of culturally rich historical sites, but due to the warm spirit and hospitality of the Burmese people. In particular, one family I met in the Inle Lake area. My last day in Myanmar was inspiring and I will be forever grateful for such a day. I spent my last day in Myanmar around the Inle Lake area; having spent a number of days cruising around the lake and hiking, I decided to spend my last day relaxing and riding my bike around the surrounding areas. For just a $1, I rented a bike from my hotel and set…

    Best Time to Visit Bagan

    May 10, 2018 / No Comments

    Bagan is one of the most iconic places in Southeast Asia and the heart and soul of Myanmar. Recently, Myanmar has seen a huge surge in tourism as a result of its relaxed visa policies and proximity to Thailand. The days of being the sole tourist in Bagan are over, but if you travel during the right time, you can pretty much avoid the massive herds. Many debate when the best time to visit Bagan is, but there is only one time that offers great weather and almost no tourists. So When is the Best Time to Visit Bagan? If you do a quick Google search, most will tell you…

    Is Mandalay Worth Visiting?

    May 10, 2018 / No Comments

    Mandalay is usually the 2nd or 3rd stop for foreign travelers after Yangon or Bagan. Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar and former capital, is an ethnically diverse city with a long history. It is also the financial hub of the country, but many travelers often wonder “Is Mandalay worth visiting?” I visited several places in Myanmar, but truthfully speaking, Mandalay was the least interesting. This isn’t to say it’s not worth visiting; however, if you’re limited on time there is no way you would skip Bagan or Inle Lake for Mandalay. Mandalay does host some sites that are nice, but nothing here will impress you as much as…

    Day Hike in Inle Lake

    May 10, 2018 / No Comments

    Inle Lake is one of the most scenic places in Myanmar and those that have been would beg to differ. The lake tour is the highlight of your trip here and probably the main reason why anyone would come visit. The lake tour can be done in either half or a full day so, anything else longer would just seem unreasonable. With 2 days left to spare, I decided to do a day hike. A day hike in Inle Lake is one of best things you can do here. Not only do you get off the beaten path, but you can get an authentic feel for life in Myanmar. Setting…
