If one would want to go backpacking in Asia, then probably the best place that he should go would be none other than Myanmar. This place is one of the most interesting places to go to because it is a place that has not been altered by modernization. So for those who would want to go Myanmar backpacking, here are some of the best places to go to.

Now the ancient Buddhist temples are very famous in this area because they are authentic and have actually not been touched by the modern world. Now Bagan city is home to a lot of these ancient temples that are actually abandoned. If one has had a dream of exploring ancient tombs, then this is the time to fulfill that wish.

Yangon is yet another place that one should never miss out on his travels to this country. This is one of the most peaceful places in the entire country because motorcycles are banned in this place which makes walking very peaceful and comfortable. It is also home to the Shwedagon Pagoda which is actually the most beautiful golden pagoda in the entire South East Asia.

Now fans of hiking and nature trekking will enjoy going to the famous Lake Inle. Lake Inle is in fact a very beautiful lake wherein one can ride around and enjoy the scenery there. At the foot of the forest, one can then get down and begin his adventure in the wilderness by taking a look at some of the beautiful sights that can be found there.

If one would want to find a market wherein he can find a lot of souvenirs that he can bring home to his family, then he should drop by Mandalay. This stretch is a little bit more hectic than the very peaceful Yangon but it has some of the best markets in the country. One will be able to find a lot of handmade things here that he can buy and bring home to his loved ones.

Now those who are into beaches, this place has the very peaceful Ngapali beach. Now do remember that this beach is not a beach resort with a lot of people in it. It is in fact just a very secluded beach that just has a few huts and a few guesthouses for the guests to stay in.

Of course if one would go to this country, he should never miss out on trying the great food that can be found there. Now the street food in this country is fantastic as the taste is so authentic. Of course the street food here is also very cheap and one can eat plenty of it in one go.

Now as one can see, this is definitely a place that one should go to on his backpacking journey to Asia. One can see a lot of sights that cannot be found in a lot of other places in the world. He will see how a developing country looks like.
