When taking a taxi, make sure the meter is on &#8211; this can be handy for short trips from the city centre to your private accommodation or to the beach and back. For greater distances, we recommend to get a personal driver or go on a scenic train ride. However, when travelling with kids you may have limited time; consider a domestic flight to make the most out of your travels without overtiring your little ones. There are <strong>70 airports in the country<\/strong> so it will be easy enough to find a flight that suits your schedule. It can be very convenient to fly from one city to another as <strong>it takes just 1 hour<\/strong> instead of a long, tiring train or bus ride.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also prefer traveling consciously by using recycled water bottles, avoiding plastic of any kind and pack as light as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seasons_when_to_go\"><\/span><strong>Seasons: when to go?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/istockphoto-1195707144-612x612-1-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Best time to go to Myanmar with kids\" class=\"wp-image-2584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/istockphoto-1195707144-612x612-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/istockphoto-1195707144-612x612-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/istockphoto-1195707144-612x612-1-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/istockphoto-1195707144-612x612-1.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Credit: luxiangjian4711 via freerangestock <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The best time to go really depends on your travel plans and preferences.

This ancient city was once the capital of a <strong>majestic and powerful ancient kingdom<\/strong> and occupies a 26 sq-mile area. Bagan Archeological Zone is a Unesco World Heritage site with thousands of temples and pagodas dating back to the 9th and 13th century (over 2000 of them). You can easily spend several days here, exploring the ancient kingdom and admiring the <strong>incredibly exotic golden temples<\/strong>. Mist-covered mountains all around, glittering golden pagodas, sunrises to leave you awe-struck; it\u2019s mystical and the magic in the air is almost tangible. You <strong>can walk around<\/strong> (but it won\u2019t get you very far), <strong>rent bicycles<\/strong>, <strong>hop in a rickshaw<\/strong> or even go for a (sunrise) <strong>hot air balloon ride<\/strong> for the most incredible 360-degree views of this expansive temple area in Myanmar. It\u2019s a sight to behold and kids love the whole experience.- note that kids have to be <strong>at least 8 years<\/strong> old to go on the hot air balloon ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In between the temple hopping, do make a stop at <strong>Thanaka Museum<\/strong>. Here, the family can learn more about the local culture and traditions. Little tidbits and facts are shared like why the local women and children wear white paste on their faces!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When visiting the temples, one must <strong>remove any footwear and dress appropriately, covering shoulders, chests and knees.

We count this as one of the <strong>best places for families with kids<\/strong> to have an up and close encounter with these <strong>\u2018giants of the land\u2019<\/strong>. Most importantly, there is no exploitation of elephants, no riding or other cruelties often seen in other so-called <strong>\u2018elephant sanctuaries\u2019<\/strong>. A visit to Green Hill Valley in Myanmar allows you to join the care program. You can feed, bathe and cuddle them and it is an amazing experience for the kids!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.
