Last Updated on January 7, 2021

This place is referred to in George Orwell’s Burmese Days as Burma. An oppressive military junta ruled the place for almost 50 years. After North Korea, Burma topped the list of the most isolated states worldwide.

Back in 2011, the Burmese land witnessed a historical change as the junta lost their seat of power. Many tourists began to visit the country since then.

You can be one of them; airlines offer super cheap plane tickets but don’t expect any luxury vacation rentals for the infrastructure is not completely modernized. Anyway, you will have the chance to see and gaze at those Buddhist temples as long as you wish.

However, the current Rohingya crisis, a Muslim community, may not make Myanmar a good place to visit with a clear conscience. These Muslims are chased down out of their own country and homes into Bangladesh.

Sri Lanka

In the southeast coast of India, you can find Sri Lanka. It is basically an island nation and home to many people. This small nation witnessed the horrors of a terrible civil war between its local government and the known, separatist Tamil Tigers.

The war lasted for a long time (outset in 1983 and end in 2009). Once the war ended, many were excited to discover the place where people, who struggled and survived a war they did not choose to engage in, live. Sri Lanka is the right place for nature lovers and verdant wildlife wanderers.

The island nation has got some of the most attractive, sandy beaches ever. For backpackers world travel like experience, start from Sri Lanka.

Iran

We know that watching a film like The Stoning Of Soraya might picture an Iran which is not fit to visit or even consider as a travel destination, but in recent years, the Iranian community changed massively to the best.

There are many films that portray Iran as a country that refused foreigners back in the 70s and 80s. Nowadays, Iran is open for visits by anyone. It is now among the most visited countries in the world in general and the Orient in particular.
