Bagan Temples

An area of 42 sq km houses thousands of richly decorated pagodas & temples.

Reviewed By Harrison-F-Carter - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

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...

Indein Village

Reviewed By 982suel - County Carlow, Ireland

This area reminded me very much of Angkor Wat in Cambodia the way trees had become an integrated part of the temple structures. Certainly this is on a much smaller scale regarding the vegetation encroachment but there are literally hundreds of ancient temples from 17th & 18th century in various states of disrepair but still showing marvellous ornate carvings, animals & Buddhas hidden inside. Truly a sight to wander at leisure & all so close to each other. By boat one first arrives at a small village where women & children try to entice you into buying their beautiful colourful scarves. According to our guide their quality is lacking however they were incredibly cheap & if none other than to aid their economy, a purchase is not beyond anyone's means.

Sagar Village

Reviewed By SandraGinkgo - London, United Kingdom

The trip by boat takes 2 hours from the south of Inle lake: if you have time, take this trip to discover amazing landscape, cultured land,villages, waterways, and stop on the way to the friendly potter Shwe Yaung Myae in Noung Po. You can walk around, discover the pottery, the kiln and the villagers way of life, without disturbing them. Sagar village itself is very low key,with atmospheric stuppas, some being built new. The houses,well looked after gardens, schools, are all worth discovering. A rustic type of tourism, our recommendation, this is the real Myanmar,with friendly people.

A Myint Village

Reviewed By Gamecock95

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.

Sri Ksetra World Heritage Site

Reviewed By 786nangh

It is a worth visit when you're in Myanmar. Imagine you are roaming around a thousand years old ancient Stupas, Gates, Ponds and small villages in the area. We roam with motorcycle and it was amazing ride of the day in Sri Ksetra.
