Karma Trekkers Myanmar
DescriptionMyanmar, commonly known as Burma, is an Ancient Buddhist land entering the modern world after a thousand years of isolation. It allows travelers the rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of history in the modern world, before it slips away. Located in Southeast Asia, Myanmar was a kingdom ruled by a succession of indigenous leaders until it fell under British rule in the late 19th century. This period of colonization led to increased Indian and Chinese influence, introducing new facets of culture to the Burmese people. After World War II, the nation gained its independence and has remained under the rule of a military government. Damon travels through this devoutly Buddhist country, visiting stunning pagoda temples, humble monasteries and chillingly accurate fortune tellers. He experiences everything from old fashioned villages with ancient customs, to modern river cruises with the finest luxuries. Along the way he talks to monks, nuns, government officials and school children to discover how Myanmar’s people feel about religion, faith and its place in the modern world. He finds a country full of varied unique cultures and deep seeded traditions, facing a strange unknown future as the outside world begins to encroach on their once secluded homeland.

This Edition on Northern Spain Features:• Distinguished writers, such as Calvin Trillin, Penelope Casas, Tom Brokaw, Alistair Reid, Sally Schneider, Bruce Schoenfeld, Anya Von Bremzen, and Florence Fabricant, who share seductive insights into Northern Spain’s outstanding restaurants, unique landscape, and cultural treasures, including the Camino de Santiago; the Guggenheim Bilbao; the tapas bars and cafés of San Sebastián, a city where cuisine is taken very seriously; the shrine of Covadonga, considered the birthplace of Spain; the wine-growing district of La Rioja; and the less-traveled routes through the mountains and valleys of the Picos de Europa. • Annotated bibliographies for each section with recommendations for related readings. • An A–Z “informaciones prácticas” (practical information) section covering everything from accommodations, hiking, and museum tours to the significance of the horeo, Basque language and culture, local foods and drink, car rentals, airfares and airlines, travel insurance, and packing. Whether it’s your first trip or your tenth, the Collected Traveler books are indispensable, and meant to be the first volumes you turn to when planning your journeys.
