About Myanmar in SHORT 

With a history stretching back over 2,000 years and a culture deeply influenced by Theravada Buddhism, Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a captivating and unique destination in Southeast Asia. Based on the 2014 census, Buddhism is the dominant religion, practiced by approximately 88% of the population. However, Myanmar’s diverse spiritual landscape also includes significant minority religions, with Christians making up around 6.2% and Muslims 4.3% of the population. Small communities of Hindus and practitioners of traditional and indigenous religions also exist.

Myanmar’s welcoming people are known for their warmth and hospitality, but the country also faces significant challenges. The government has a history of promoting Buddhism and restricting other religious activities, and religious minorities, including Christians and Muslims, have faced persecution and discrimination. Many religious leaders and human rights organizations believe there is a great need for Christian evangelism in Myanmar, particularly among the many unreached people groups, and for advocating for religious freedom for all.

From ancient temple-studded plains to serene lakes and untouched islands, the country offers a rich tapestry of experiences for the adventurous traveler. Discover the iconic golden stupa of Shwedagon Pagoda in the bustling city of Yangon, or witness the breathtaking sunrise over the thousands of temples dotting the plains of Bagan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can also explore the unique culture of Inle Lake, where fishermen famously row with one leg, or relax on the pristine beaches of Ngapali.

From its stunning landscapes and ancient heritage to its vibrant arts and crafts, Myanmar is a destination that promises authentic and unforgettable encounters.
