November marks the arrival of the dry season in Myanmar, with infrequent rain and long periods of cloudless sunny skies. November may see some rain early in the month but typically as November progresses any signs of rain will gradually disappear.

November is the start of high season for hotels in Myanmar and prices usually jump up on the first of the month. Bagan and Mandalay become busier with tour groups and some of the more popular boutique hotels in Myanmar can become booked well in advance for the high season months. Those considering a tour of Myanmar in November should book early, as there is a serious shortage of hotels in Myanmar.

Of course, the high season for touring Myanmar coincides with the English winter, making a tour of Myanmar a great option for those looking to get away in the colder months.

The beach resorts on Myanmar’s southern coast are at their best in the 5 or 6 months from November, with sunny skies and calm seas.

In these ‘winter’ months in Myanmar, temperatures in the hill country and the Himalayan foothills can be chilly in the evenings and early mornings.
