Top Burma Photography Destinations

Myanmar is blessed with distinctively beautiful landscape that differs from many photography destinations you may know. From thousands of temples in Bagan to unique stilt villages arise amidst Inle Lake, from stunning mountain sunrise in Mrauk U to lively market portraits in Shan state, the country has so many things to offer for photographers. These highlighted spots are some of most impressive site we have challenged our camera skills:

Shwedagon Pagoda

​This gilded stupa not only represents the outstanding Burmese architect, it showcases the local culture more than other attractions in Yangon city. While the main spire is decorated in gold color, topped by diamond, its surrounding ground and monastery is very eye catching. Shwedagon turns very photogenic at dawn when people start praying.

All photographers come to Bagan to capture the stunning sunrise from a balloon ride, shooting with novice and monks. Another famous theme that a photography travel should not miss is the photos with lights either it is candle arrangement or natural light point to Buddha statues.

inle waters

Inthar village, Shan State

he reason why Inthar village is worth visiting comes from its unique location. Standing out of the water with stilt houses, Inthar people live on fishing in Inle Lake and making floating villages. Their special technique of navigating wooden boat by one leg lures your lens more than any else you have shooted in Asia. Additionally, Inle Lake is very picturesque.

chin hill tribe

Chin State

If your main interest is people`s portraits then Chin State is the first place that you should plunge into. Though the road to Chin state is still hard, your effort is beautifully compensated by seeing Chin hill tribes who got the tradition of tattooing their faces. You will be among the few people who can see this until it vanishes!

Mrauk U

Mrauk U is still a hidden gem for both travelers and photographers alike. There are only few Myanmar Photo Tours offering shoots to the area so far, it means your exploration is more or less pristine. Photogenic attractions in Mrauk U include: Arakan Palace, Monastery, river sunset and untouched Buddhism sites.
