The Shwedagon pagoda is visible from everywhere in the city ... and it will draw you to it like moths to a flame ...Late afternoon and evenings is the best time as it can get too hot underfoot during the day ( bare feet at all Pagodas & temples throughout the country ) ... It is a vast complex and as the sun sets, the locals light up the candles all around the Pagoda and it makes for some wonderful photo and video opportunities .. Learn a bit about the history of the pagoda ( 2,600 years old ) and be respectful of the dress code ( nothing short or skimpy, especially women ) ... I wore denim jean shorts to my knees and had to "rent ' a llongi for $10 as i was deemed inappropriate ... Not going here while in Yangon is like not looking at the Eiffel tower in paris or the Opera house in Sydney .. it is simply THE thing to do in Yangon

It’s been a turbulent couple of years for Myanmar, with the Rakhine conflict understandably taking centre stage. That’s not to say progress has stalled however; there have been plenty of positive developments, especially within the country’s travel and tourism sector. From increased employment and hospitality training provided by hotels and restaurants, to community based tourism projects that are helping with the preservation, promotion and discovery of beautiful ancient cultures, the role of the tourist is now more important than ever. If you’re keen for your money to make a difference, we can help you with that.
