Backpacking Myanmar (Yangon-Bagan-Mandalay)

U Bein Bridge, Amarapura, Mandalay at sunset
My Myanmar (Burma) trip is a spiritual and nostalgic experience. Myanmar has an old world charm with the country being relatively more open to the influx of tourists in the recent decade. My friend and I were blessed to visit Myanmar in April 2014 during the Thingyan Water Festival. In 4 out of 5 days we were touring their streets with our clothes fully wet as locals throw water at every passerby, a tradition observed to wash away one’s sins in the past as one welcomes the new Burmese year.
