Stand in awe in Yangon<br />
A lively city full of tropical vegetation,<br />
Yangon is known as the Garden City of the<br />
East. As well as the traditional markets and<br />
tea shops, Yangon is home to the striking<br />
Shwedagon Pagoda, a huge golden structure<br />
that will set the imagination running wild.<br />
See the Irrawaddy by sailboat<br />
This famed river runs through Myanmar’s<br />
most magical landscapes, and the Sanctuary<br />
Ananda’s custom-built shallow draught means<br />
it can navigate even the most unexplored parts<br />
in the upper and lower sections of the river.<br />
Experience local life<br />
Inle Lake is one of the most picturesque<br />
sights in Myanmar. The villages are full of<br />
stilted houses and, relatively free of tourists,<br />
a traditional way of life still holds sway here.<br />
Cruise the calm waters, see the many green<br />
islands and shoreside pagodas, and meet the<br />
local fishermen.<br />
Find your bliss at a monastery<br />
Take a scenic walk through the hills to Htut<br />
Ni, one of the villages of the Danu tribe.<br />
Witness the local traditions practised here<br />
before heading to some of the other tribal<br />
villages in the area, and eventually to Yasakyi<br />
Monastery where you’ll spend the night.<br />
Balloon over Bagan<br />
Within the region of Bagan there are over<br />
2,000 pagodas, temples and monasteries to be<br />
seen, and nothing beats seeing them with a<br />
bird’s-eye view. Soar through the Golden Land<br />
in a hot-air balloon to fully appreciate the<br />
majesty of this region.<br />
Float away to lunch<br />
As you wait in anticipation for the delightful<br />
meal being prepared, feel yourself drift over<br />
the surface of Inle Lake as the local fishermen<br />
head this way and that in search of their catch.<br />
Few experiences compare with a meal on<br />
board a floating restaurant here.<br />
Sanctuary Ananda<br />
Enjoy an exciting river cruise in unsurpassed<br />
luxury. Each of the 21 beautiful suites has a<br />
private balcony looking over the enchanting<br />
river, and there’s also a plunge pool and<br />
Thambyadine Spa by L’Occitane on board.<br />
Belmond Governor’s Residence<br />
This 1920s-built hotel was once the home of<br />
the ruler of Burma’s southern states. Located<br />
in the Embassy Quarter of Yangon, it’s a<br />
beautiful example of the city’s colonial-era<br />
architecture. Evening is the perfect time to<br />
enjoy the sumptuous garden’s lotus pools.<br />
Villa Inle Resort and Spa<br />
True relaxation awaits – whether enjoying<br />
the spa or exploring the eight-hectare private<br />
grounds, there’s plenty of peaceful activities.<br />
Discover the lake too, which showcases the<br />
Myanmarese traditions of old, both in the<br />
local lifestyles and the many historic pagodas<br />
to be seen.<br />
