Best of Bagan – 3 days
Enjoy this 3-day Bagan tour to discover the enigmatic antiquity of a Myanmar’s hidden gem. Along with allowing you to marvel at the most magnificent pagodas, which transport you to the region’s glorious past, we also make sure to give you the chance to mingle in the charming villages, where you can learn about rural life and engage with the welcoming locals.
Mingalaba! Greetings from legendary Bagan! Meet your guide at the airport today, and then set out on your Bagan tour from the busy Nyaung U Market. This is the greatest location to get a first impression of local life. After that, visit a nearby village to see early-morning rural life.
Nyang U Market
Then proceed to Shwezigon Pagoda, which is regarded as one of Myanmar’s most important examples of religious architecture. It served as a model for stupas that were later constructed all over the nation and marked an important shift in the relationship between traditional Burmese religion and Theravada Buddhism.
