Absolutely loved it here - now one of our favourite ever places. Getting up at 5.30am to see the sunrise and balloons sets a wonderful tone to the day and seeing the temples - and hiring e-bikes was just wonderful - they were plenty fast enough and you are just free to go where you please, independently with just a dusty breeze upon you - worth bringing a face mask. Loved it here...

A small boutique hotel ran by a husband and wife team, who take great care to give you the best service they can. They engage with you whenever they are around. The rooms are traditional style with lots of nice extra touches. The staff offer to spray your room every night against mosquitoes and couldn't be more helpful. We only ate in the hotel as there was nowhere else suitable locally for tourists as the hygeine standards are very low outside the hotel. The hotel was beautifully clean, there were handwashing facilities in the restaurant and in the garden should you chose to eat outside. The view over the Irrawaddy river was wonderful and particularly the sunset. The owners are currently doing up a boat so they can offer dining on the boat and expand their business and I am sure this will be worthwhile for them. We had the best room in the hotel, nearest the river upstairs at the end of the balcony. No complaints there. The food was exceptional, service wonderful, the staff even got up early (at 5.00am) on our departure day to ensure we had breakfast. Highly recommend for food, or for accommodation. We would consider returning because it was so good, but would say the only thing missing for us was a swimming pool (however small).

The sun already started setting, we rushed to one of the taller pagodas in the area – Shwesandaw Pagoda – an imposing structure visible from far away rising from the plains of Bagan, and is very popular among tourists for sunset. Our tickets for the archaeological zone were checked here. Be careful while climbing the steep stairs to the top of the Shwesandaw temple to witness one of the popular sunsets of Bagan.

Probably my favorite temple out of all the ones I visited while in Bagan. Definitely include this one on your list of temples to see while here. Probably need a good 45 minutes for this one.

This stunning temple is remarkably well-preserved and very beautiful, considering it's from the 12th century. The frescoes on the wall are gorgeous and are worth visiting just for themselves, although the temple itself is also lovely. The dim interior helps provide an aura of calmness and sacredness. This temple is clearly very well-maintained with a sense of awe and love that testifies to the spirituality of the place.

A mini Bagan without all the tourists. Love love this place. Hard to get to but once there it’s all your. Just you and 800 year-old temples and stupas. Can’t imagine that this will stay off the tourist pipeline much longer but until then. One of my favs in all of all Myanmar.
