The Shwedagon Pagoda, sparkling not just with gold but with the stories of millennia, is a breathtaking spectacle that convinces many a wanderlust-struck adventurer to hit that "book flight" button. At Kiwi, we understand why Yangon calls — it’s a city where every street corner whispers a tale waiting to be heard. And you can start from anywhere with our Nomad Search Tool.
