Most visitors will find themselves choosing from Yangon (formerly known as Rangoon), Mandalay, Bagan (the plain with all the temples) and Inle Lake (where the men row with one leg to keep their hands free for casting their fishing nets). This is not a problem for first time visitors at all, with plenty to choose from in the vicinity of each of these destinations. The best season for a visit is during the cooler winter months, specifically November through February. The wet season starts in late May, peaks in August and ends as late as October. Not only is it hot and humid; rains are often heavy enough to disrupt travel so this is not a good time for photographers with limited time.
