Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is a tropical country in Southeast Asia with a rich agricultural base and diverse ethnic groups, each with its own language and traditions. Deeply influenced by Buddhism, the nation is dotted with golden pagodas, temples, and stupas, while other faiths such as Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism are also practiced. Traditional attire includes the longyi for men and the hta mi for women. Nearby, Thandaunggyi in Kayin State is a peaceful hill station close to Yangon, where Actxplorer Myanmar partners with local communities to offer travel experiences that celebrate culture, nature, and sustainable tourism.
