Where to begin in a country with so much to see? One of the highlights is Pagan; wander amongst the many temples, stupas and pagodas of this magnificent archaeological site. Then there is Mandalay, surrounded by ancient royal cities, this is the rich cultural centre of 'The Golden Land'. Your tour cannot miss Inle Lake, which is beautifully encircled by towering mountains and situated in the Highlands of the Shan State; this is the home of the famous leg-rowing Intha fishermen. You also do not want to miss Bago which is home to the largest reclining Buddha in the world. If you have time and highly recommended as part of our tours is a cruise on the fabled Ayeyarwaddy River on board the elegant steamers of the Pandaw fleet.

Myanmar is endowed with a rich diversity of habitat types arising largely from its unusual ecological diversity. It is home to nearly 300 known mammal species, 300 reptiles and about 100 bird species, and is a haven for about 7,000 species of plant life. Common, but rarely seen, in Myanmar's jungles are tigers and leopards.  In Upper Myanmar's highlands, elephant, rhinoceros, wild buffalo and wild boar can be found as well as many species of deer and antelope.  As forests cover over 40 percent of Myanmar, it's not surprising there are such a variety of animals that live and thrive in them. Some of Myanmar's smaller animals make the trees their home. One such animal is the gibbon, which is a small species of ape that lives in trees.  Other small animals to be found in Myanmar are several monkey species, the flying fox, the wildcat and the tapir. Common reptiles in Myanmar include crocodiles, pythons, cobras, geckos and turtles.
