We first contemplated visiting Myanmar back in August 2011 after finishing the bar exam. At the time, very few tourists were visiting the country and it was very “off the beaten path.” Ultimately we decided that visiting during Myanmar’s rainy season did not sound like fun and opted to travel elsewhere (Ladakh/Kashmir/India). Now, more than five years later, we had finally made it to Myanmar only to find that the main sites are part of a clear tourist circuit. A beautiful and enchanting tourist circuit, but not exactly undiscovered.
