Kalaw Railway Station might just be one of the cutest little train stations I’ve ever stepped into 💕 Located right in the heart of Kalaw town, this spot is like a slice of history frozen in time. Red brick building, old-school signage, sleepy platform… it honestly felt like something out of an old movie 🎞️⛰️ I didn’t take the train but just being there was already an experience. The atmosphere was super calm, surrounded by trees and soft mountain breeze. I loved how quiet everything was… only one or two trains pass each day, so the place is never crowded. Just me, a few locals, and the gentle sound of nature 🌲🍃 Sometimes you’ll spot a small stall or two near the entrance, selling local fruits or light snacks—especially when a train’s about to come through. But even when it’s quiet, the whole station just has this slow, nostalgic charm that makes you want to pause and take it all in 💭 Definitely worth a quick visit even if you're not taking a train. Super photogenic and peaceful—one of those places that make you slow down and just enjoy the moment 📸🧡 #traveladdict #travelasia #asianwomantravels #asianwoman #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #kalaw #kalawmyanmar #kalawrailwaystation #shanstate #myanmar #myanmartravel #myanmartrip #myanmar🇲🇲

Some more shots from beautiful Bagan 💛 As a Burmese, I’ve been there like 5 times already—and honestly? It never gets old. The ancient pagodas 🛕, the golden sunsets 🌅, the peaceful dusty roads 🚲… it’s pure magic every single time ✨ No matter how often I go, I always feel something special. It’s calm, timeless, and the energy just hits different. Especially when I’m there with people I love 💕—riding around, taking random photo stops 📸, and ending the day with yummy local food near Tharapa Gate 🍜🌿 Simple moments, but they stay with you. Forever a fave 🤍 #bagantrip #wanderlust #wanderlustasia #bagan #baganpagoda #bagantravel #mandalay #myanmartravel #myanmartrip #myanmar #myanmar🇲🇲 #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #travelasia #traveladdict #templehopping

If there’s one place in Myanmar that truly feels like a dream, it’s Bagan. 🛕✨ Whether you’re into history, photography, or just vibing with peaceful landscapes, Bagan is where you’ll find your moment. I spent a full day exploring and honestly... it wasn’t enough! There are over 2,000 temples scattered across the plains—yes, thousands! 😮 I rented an e-bike (so fun and easy to ride!) and went temple-hopping from sunrise to sunset. You can stop wherever you like, explore freely, and climb up some pagodas (only a few are still open for climbing). Every angle is Insta-worthy—yes, I used filters too 😉📸 The real magic? Sunset and sunrise. The sky turns pink, orange, and gold, and the view is just chef’s kiss. Some locals will offer to take you to hidden viewpoints for a small tip—worth it if you want those peaceful, crowd-free moments. Bagan gets hot though 🔥 so come prepared with sunscreen, a hat, and water. Also, carry a scarf or longyi if you want to enter pagodas—shoulders and knees need to be covered. Honestly, it felt like time slowed down here. Cruising along dusty roads surrounded by ancient stupas, it’s the kind of place that makes you pause and just breathe. ✨ #bagan #bagantrip #bagantravel #myanmar #myanmartravel #myanmartrip #myanmar🇲🇲 #baganpagoda #templehopping #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #traveladdict #travelasia #sunset #wanderlustasia #wanderlust

Just about 1 hour’s drive from Mandalay, Innwa (also known as Ava) was the perfect choice for a peaceful and historical day trip 🌿📜. As soon as we arrived, it felt like we were stepping into a different century. The ruins, old monasteries, and ancient structures scattered across the area quietly whisper stories from the past 🛕✨ It’s a slow-paced place—perfect for wandering around, taking in the rustic charm, and appreciating how untouched everything still feels. A lovely break from city life, and a meaningful stop if you're drawn to culture and history 💛 #travelasia #traveladdict #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #innwa #mandalay #mandalaytrip #mandalaytravel #myanmar #myanmartravel #myanmartrip #myanmar🇲🇲

When I was in Mandalay, one of the places I didn’t expect to love this much was kuthodaw pagoda 💛. People always call it the world’s largest book, but honestly, I didn’t really get what that meant until I was actually standing there, surrounded by rows and rows of beautiful white stupas 🤍. Each stupa holds a marble stone with buddhist scriptures carved on it 📖 – like pages of a giant book written in stone. It’s really something you have to see for yourself. What I loved the most was how peaceful it felt 🌿. The white stupas are perfectly lined up, and it’s just so satisfying to walk through. I went in the evening when there were almost no people, and it felt like I had the place to myself or may be the place is too big that didn't feel crowded? I don't know 😅. But it’s the perfect spot for a slow, quiet walk and some photo moments 📸. If you ever go to Mandalay, don’t skip this beautiful place. Go in the morning or evening when it’s quiet and cool and to avoid the heat. I went without expecting much but I ended up really loving it 💕. #traveladdict #travelasia #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #kuthodaw #kuthodawpagoda #mandalay #mandalaytrip #travelmandalay #mandalaytravel #myanmar #myanmar🇲🇲 #myanmartravel #myanmartrip #beautifulmyanmar

Mya Thein Tan Pagoda in Mingun holds such a special place in my heart 💖. I visited it about six years ago when I was still in Myanmar 🇲🇲. It’s one of those memories that I’ll always carry with me. When I Visited – Beautiful & Calm 😍 When I went, the pagoda was in amazing condition—the bright white layers, the peaceful surroundings, and the perfect photo spots 🌤️. I remember walking around, climbing up the curved paths, and just enjoying the quiet, peaceful atmosphere. It felt so calm and beautiful 🤍. Perfect Photo Spots – Angles On Point 🔥 What I loved the most was how every angle was perfect for photos! 📸 Whether you stood at the front, the side, or climbed up a little higher, the white layers always made your pictures look stunning ✨. One of the best moments was when the local kids 👦👧 came over to help us take photos. At first, I thought they were just being playful, but they actually knew exactly where to stand and how to get the best angles 🎯! Thanks to them, the photos turned out soooo good 🔥—they’re still some of my favorite travel memories 💕. What I Heard Now – Heartbreaking 💔 Recently, I heard that the pagoda’s condition is now much worse after the earthquake 😢. It’s not just a small crack—it sounds like it’s really damaged now. Hearing that honestly broke my heart 💭. I feel so grateful I got to see it when it was still so beautiful. Final Thoughts ✨ The peaceful vibe, the perfect photo spots, and the sweet local kids—it’s a memory I’ll always treasure 💫. #asianwomantravels #asianwoman #enjoythemoment #historicallandmarks #travelasia #myatheintanpagoda #mingun #sagaing #myanmar #myanmartravel #myanmartrip #myanmar🇲🇲 #beautifulmyanmar #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment

Okay, so I lowkey love traveling in off-season—you get the whole place to yourself and the hotel deals are just too good to miss! 💸 That’s exactly why we hit Ngwe Saung Beach during rainy season, and guess what?

Shwedagon Pagoda The Shwedagon or Greater Dragon Pagoda is known to be the most sacred site related to Buddhism in Myanmar as it contains a strand of Buddha’s hair and other religious relics. This 2,500-year-old pagoda is sited on Singuttara Hill in Yangon. Over the centuries, this pagoda has grown from 8 meters to 99 meters.

Built in a fusion of Mon and Indian style of architecture, the inspiring temple is also named as the “Westminster Abbey of Burma”.#myanmar ##myanmartravel

Novotel Inle Lake Hotel is the best hotel to stay in when you visit Inle Lake. Not only is Inle Lake a special gem in Myanmar, but staying at Novotel made the experience even better. The service was impeccable from the moment we pulled up to the hotel until we checked out. Unlike most hotels in Myanmar, the beds were HEAVENLY. The shower was wonderful and the large soaking tub made it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience. Novotel spoiled us and I don’t plan to stay anywhere else but there when I visit again. #freehotelstay #localguides #Novotel #myanmar #MyanmarTravel #缅甸 #GirlsThatTravel #southeastasiatravel

📍Shwe Dagon Pagoda | Yangon | Myanmar. 🇲🇲 📌 Reasons for Recommendation Shwedagon Pagoda is Myanmar’s most sacred Buddhist site — a breathtaking golden stupa that’s not only a symbol of faith, but also a place of deep peace. I used to visit every week, and every visit felt grounding and special. Whether you’re spiritual or simply love culture, this place leaves a lasting impression. 🌅 Vibe & Ambience Daytime can be hot and busy, but early mornings and nights are incredibly peaceful. At night, the golden stupa glows beautifully under the lights. In the early morning, the air is cool and fresh, with monks and devotees quietly walking the grounds. It’s calm, sacred, and timeless. 🕰️ Business Hours The pagoda used to be open until 10 PM, and usually opens early in the morning (as early as 4 AM). However, it’s best to check current hours before you go, as they may vary with events or maintenance. 🕓 Best Time to Visit • Early Morning (before 8 AM): Cool, peaceful, spiritual. • Evening/Night (after 6 PM): Golden lights, cooler air, fewer crowds. Avoid mid-day if possible — the marble floors get hot and the sun can be intense. 🧘♀️ Cultural Experience Shwedagon is more than a tourist spot — it’s a living part of local life. You’ll see monks meditating, families making offerings, and traditional rituals taking place. Dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered), remove shoes at the entrance, and be respectful of the quiet atmosphere. #trip #travel #myanmar #thingstodo #pagoda #shwedagon #myanmartravel #myanmar #asia #travelasia #Shegoes

Myanmar food, also known as Burmese cuisine, is a rich tapestry of flavors shaped by centuries of cultural exchange and diverse ethnic traditions. Nestled between China, India, and Thailand, Myanmar’s geography has played a major role in its culinary identity, borrowing spices, techniques, and ingredients from its neighbors while adding its own unique twist. At the heart of Burmese food is rice, served with an array of curries, soups, salads, and condiments. One of the most beloved dishes is mohinga, a savory rice noodle soup made with fish broth, lemongrass, banana stem, and chickpea flour. Traditionally eaten for breakfast, it’s hearty, spicy, and deeply comforting. Another staple is lahpet thoke, or fermented tea leaf salad. A surprising combination of pickled tea leaves, crispy beans, nuts, tomatoes, and garlic, this dish offers a bold mix of textures and a distinctive umami flavor that lingers on the tongue. Burmese curries are often milder than their Thai or Indian counterparts but no less flavorful. They’re slow-cooked with onions, garlic, ginger, and turmeric, resulting in rich, earthy stews. Fish sauce and ngapi (fermented fish or shrimp paste) provide the salty depth typical in many dishes. These curries are commonly served with a variety of sides: raw vegetables, tangy dips, and refreshing soups that cleanse the palate and balance the meal. Street food is a vital part of the culinary scene in Myanmar. Stalls and teashops serve snacks like samusa thoke (a salad made from crumbled samosas), skewers of grilled meats, and sweet treats like mont lone yay paw, glutinous rice balls filled with palm sugar and coconut, traditionally eaten during the Burmese New Year. What makes Burmese food particularly fascinating is how it tells a story of a country with over 135 ethnic groups. Shan cuisine, for example, features delicate fish dishes and sticky rice, while Kachin food leans heavily on herbs and forest vegetables, offering a completely different profile. The diversity is not just in ingredients but in preparation styles and eating customs. In every bite of Myanmar food, there’s a blend of subtlety and strength — a balance of sour, salty, spicy, and savory that reflects the land’s history, people, and spirit. To eat Burmese food is to travel through Myanmar’s geography and culture, one delicious dish at a time.#food #myanmartravel #solotravel

Myanmar is definitely one of the least visited countries in Southeast Asia, but maybe that’s what makes it so special and unique. If you wish to get a break from hyper-touristy destinations in Asia like Thailand, you’ll be happy to hear that Myanmar is a relatively unexplored destination. There are no overcrowded beaches here, everything (except hotels) is dirt cheap, and the locals don’t treat you as an ATM. While backpacking Myanmar, you will have an opportunity to visit dozens of seriously awesome places! #yangon #myanmartravel
