The Temples and Pagodas of Bagan

For those who love exploring the temples of Bagan, we can give you the best guide and showcase the temples in as much detail as you want. Some guest just like to wander off by themselves and see them under your own steam, so everything is totally flexible. Generally, if you have a day with a guide, we suggest seeing Ananda, Shwezigon, Gubyaukgyi, Htilominlo, Thatbyinnyu, Manuha, Nanpaya and Gubyaukgyi. All are distinct and tell their own story about how Bagan came into being.
