Thingyan, the traditional Myanmar water festival, is the most exciting and marvelous of all the annual celebrations.
 
Shwedagon Pagoda, which represents the essence of Myanmar, is a must-visit place for locals and international tourists alike. A trip to Yangon is incomplete without a visit to Shwedagon.
 
HEMMED in by thick jungle on either side and shrouded in soupy fog, the rocky trail rises steeply in front of me. I can see no more than five metres in any direction, and the only sounds I can hear are moisture dripping from the trees, and my own breathing.
