Travel not only to classic Myanmar - Bagan, Inle, and Mandalay - but to the hill tribe villages around them, villages that are not part of the typical tourist route and are engaging in their warmth and simplicity. Spend time at markets and with the locals in Mindat, Kengtung, and Kalaw. Take a boat ride on Inle Lake, join in as Buddha gets his morning bath in Mandalay, learn Burmese mythology through its puppet shows, and learn to love this culturally rich country.

Pray with the pilgrims at Yangon's Shwedagon Pagoda, sail on Inle Lake to the floating gardens, visit the vibrant Scott Market, and explore the caves of Pindaya. You'll meet the begging monks, chat with schoolchildren, see Buddha take a bath, watch the sunset on the banks of the Irawaddy, and greet The Lord of the Great Mountain as you walk up Mt. Popa.

If the Khmer temples of Siem Reap amaze you with their scale, the magnificent temples of Bagan will stun you with their expanse. This very unique photographic journey begins in Myanmar and its capital city of Yangon. From here, you will travel to historical Mandalay, and take an overnight cruise down the legendary Irawaddy River to the world heritage city of Bagan, where you can spend time photographing the temples. Flying from Myanmar to Cambodia, wander Phnom Penh, before ending your journey in Siem Reap, the ancient Khmer capital rescued from the jungle and bejeweled with some of the world's most incredible temples.

This is nirvana Mandalay, water buffalo at work, Intha boatmen fishing on Inle Lake, the magnificent temples of Bagan, shopping with the hill tribe people at the Taungyii market, and a chance to mingle with locals a true Taste of Myanmar.
