It is possible to discover, in the region of Inle Lake, a craft of great delicacy: the manufacture of paper umbrellas. These artisans are true artists. First, they make paper from a mixture of bark and clay, which they work for a long time and then dry in the sun. The paper is mounted on a bamboo stem and wooden whales.

The land of thousand pagodas...

 

For more than 20 years, I travel the Asian continent and I am now based in Kuala Lumpur. Fascinating, mysterious and isolated for decades, you will find character in Myanmar, this remarkable destination where the imprint of Buddhism punctuates the  every day life.

 

The land of a thousand pagodas promises an off-the-beaten track experience that will forever change the way you see the world. So let yourself be guided and embark with me on this unique responsable journey!
