Bagan Tours & Activities | Discover Ancient Temples & More

Bagan stands out as one of Myanmar’s most magical destinations, offering visitors a journey back in time. This ancient city is famous for its thousands of Buddhist temples, pagodas, and stupas spread across a vast plain, creating a truly stunning landscape, especially at sunrise and sunset. Whether exploring by bike, hot air balloon, or horse cart, you’ll enjoy a unique atmosphere, a mix of spirituality and adventure.

A glimpse into the past

Founded in the 9th century, Bagan was once the heart of the powerful Pagan Kingdom. By the 13th century, over 10,000 religious monuments filled this breathtaking plain. Wars, earthquakes, and the passage of time have left about 2,000 temples standing, but the sense of wonder remains. Every stupa and shrine tells a story of devotion and artistry.

Best time to visit

The ideal period to explore Bagan is from November to February, when temperatures are cooler and rainfall is rare. Visiting during these months means comfortable weather for outdoor sightseeing. If you arrive in the summer months, be prepared for high heat and the occasional downpour, though the temples are much quieter.

How do I get around the temples?

Travelers typically rent e-bikes, bicycles, or even take a horse-drawn cart for a laid-back experience. Walking between temples is also possible, but distances can be long. Local guides are available if you want more insight into the sites.

Can I enter all the temples?

Though many of the temples are open for visitors, some may be closed for restoration or safety reasons. The most famous ones—like Ananda, Dhammayangyi, and Shwesandaw—are usually accessible.
