Top countries to include on your tour to Burma

Burma is close to some of the world’s most exciting and diverse destinations, with stunning landscapes and cultural treasures. So, where’s best to go?

For example, if you’ve booked your tour of Burma already and want to throw some more destinations into the mix, you could see what the same travel company has to offer to nearby countries; you could also do this the other way round, if you have a tour of another nation arranged already. It’s worth bearing in mind that a lot of firms

History, as well as geography, also sets Goa apart from mainland India. Central Goa in particular is heavily influenced by the state’s Portuguese past – Goa was liberated from Portuga

With more than 360 beaches (and new ones opening all the time), perfect water conditions for snorkelling and diving, and a generally laidback vibe (especially on the neighbouring isle of Barbuda, which is extremely quiet), this island paradise is the ideal place in which to top up your tan.

There are several reasons for this – firstly because Manrique is easily among the island’s most famous former residents, having been born here in 1919. In fact, by visiting his house today, you can view some of his works, as well as those by artists like Jo
