Myanmar is made up with 7 states and 7 divisions. Karen and Mon states in the middle of southern part are well endowed with natural beauty-rocky hills, lime stone caves, creeks, rivers and forests. For those who love to see natural phenomenon are recommended to visit the area about 4-6 days. Mrauk Oo, the old Rakhine Kingdom with its distinct styles of monuments and the remains of the ancient civilisation is also worth giving a visit.
