MYANMAR BURMA - Destinations & Hotels
Bagan
The 100’s of temples, stupas and pagodas strewn across the plains of Bagan are the most impressive relics of the first period of Myanmar greatness. Situated on the eastern bank of the Ayeyarwady River, Bagan covers more than 42 square kilometres. More popularly known as the “city of four million pagodas”, Bagan is one of the richest archaeological sites in Asia and today is considered one of the wonders of the world.
Bagan is also famed for its unique lacquer ware and travellers can visit the workshops to watch craftsmen produce these beautiful handicrafts. We can arrange in-depth tours with specialised guides or tours giving a more general overview depending on your interests. Make sure you have your camera and spare film or memory cards as Bagan is a photographer’s delight. In our opinion Bagan rates as one of the must see sites in the whole region if not the world!
