In Myanmar, elephants are important
to us for their strong and loyal service. Elephants
have played an important role in the development
of the various Myanmar Kingdoms. They served as
Royal Carriages; they have served in the Armed Forces;
and they have aided in the production and transportation
industries. The Sin Phyu (the White Elephant)
is very rare and the Myanmar Kings prized them and
used them as their personal mounts for royal ceremonies
and tours. The spirit of the Flying Royal
White Elephant is our symbol to bring loyal and
faithful service to the Golden Skies of Myanmar.

blue mountains of Southern Shan State Lake Inle is
world famous. It is a very large fresh water
mountain lake and dotted on the lake are many
villages. The people of the lake are called the
Innthars and spending their whole life on the water

also have so called floating gardens, stretches of
moss and sediment salvaged from the lake and

grow vegetables and flowers. Read More.....
Mrauk U
The unique characteristics of the
topography of Mrauk U are the tiers of hills and mountains
running around it. Between them are natural passes through
which access is easy. These natural passes were fenced
with earth walls and stone walls thus forming a long
line of defence walls aligned with hills and mountains.
Between hills and mountains where the location was favorable,
big dams and reservoirs were built to store water as
well as to serve as water barriers (Kyon Pinlei).
