animal life, the topography, the tapestry of ethnic
diversity are a wonder for all. Myanmar is the only country
in the Southeast Asia region that can boast every variety of
geographical zones : ice –clad mountains , semi-desert
regions and thick dense tropical rain forest that come down
to meet the white beaches fronting the Bay of Bengal and the
Andaman Sea. Here also is the source of the Ayerwaddy River.
