Best time to visit Yangon

If you’re looking for nice, moderate weather without too much rain or sun exposure, then you should book your trip from November to February. In Yangon, this is when the weather is very pleasant. There are many outdoor places to visit, and exciting things to do over this time (e.g. all the activities of Independence Day, which occurs on 4 January every year).

Yangon is said to be one of the safest cities in South East Asia, but it is always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings.

Make sure to watch your step when crossing the roads, as local motorists have been known to zip by at fast speeds.

As the city is still expanding and there is a lot of construction happening in some parts, it is a good idea to carry a torch with you to watch your step at night.
