Gold and pagodas
Tailor-made trip to Myanmar
The best way to travel to Myanmar through a tailor-made and private trip An unusual country that, after years of isolation, opens its doors to the traveler to go back to the era of colonial splendor and luxury.
Rudyard Kipling has already said it: “Burma is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.” It is enough to contemplate its orange sunsets from the top of one of its thousands of pagodas in the plains of Bagan, the rides in a buggy between colonial mansions or in a boat on the Ayeyarwady River and observe the daily life of men dressed in longyi skirts, women made up with thanaka and old women chewing the reddish betel. Myanmar, the country of smiles, where nothing or little has changed over time, it is still possible to discover it like this, authentic.

Curiosities in Myanmar
Thanaka: Burmese makeup
See how the whole country gracefully hydrates and protects your face from the sun with this natural and centennial cosmetic, with the scent of sandalwood, made from water and the ground root of a tree. It owes its fame not only to its fragrance and aesthetic value, but also to its fungicidal properties, its benefits on sunburn and skin tightening.
Longyi skirts
Another hallmark and key to Burmese beauty is the use of the longyi, incorporated in the 19th century in Myanmar by emigrants from southern India. This garment consists of a tube skirt, made of tissue or silk, in bright colors that covers the body from the hips to the ankles. It is worn by men and women. The one for men is called step, it usually sports discreet colors and fastens in the front. The women’s garment is called htamein, with more vivid colors and fastening to one side.
La hoja de betel
Sorprende viajar a Myanmar y a otros países del sudeste asiático y conocer su costumbre de mascar la hoja de betel, conocida popularmente como “el paan”. Los birmanos lucen sus amplias sonrisas al viajero, teñidas de este color llamativo, atribuyéndole propiedades digestivas y refrescantes para el aliento. Sin embargo, también es conocido su carácter adictivo y sus efectos nocivos para la salud.
Recommended seson: winter
The best time to travel to Myanmar, given its tropical climate, is during the dry season, from October to April. During these seasons, temperatures oscillate around 68ºF, increasing slightly during the months of March and April, when the days offer between five and seven hours of sunshine and the skies are usually clear
Seasonal experiences
A different experience to enjoy the warm temperatures that Myanmar offers is to lose yourself by bike in Bagan and contemplate the impressive views at sunrise from the top of one of its thousands of temples. NUBA organizes private dinners in its surroundings to soak up the magnetism and magic of this unique place.
