temple filled landscape Sunsets, sunrises and endless sun and

cycling in the morning on the dusty roads of Bagan remain with

1) RESEARCH THE TEMPLES AND HAVE A

SUNRISE, SUNSET AND VISITING

SHORTLIST

• Bagan is home to the 2200 temples and pagodas, and it is very

unlikely that you will have time to visit each and everyone! Do

your research ahead of time and make a list. Our favorite

sunrise temple was and North Lowka Oushang topped our list

Gouna sunset. During the period, we reduced our favorites

daytime pagodas to Shwezigon Pagoda, Bupayathein and

Ananda.

2) VISIT A PAGODA OR TEMPLE EVERY

SUNSET AND SUNRISE YOU ARE IN

BAGAN!

• Not every sunrise and sunset are the same, but many in Bagan

absolutely spectacular. We tucked into the two sunrises and

sunsets 3 during our stay Bagan and meanwhile sunrises were

exceptional, only one of our sunsets was worthy of a postcard.

• If a hot air balloon ride on your bucket list of dawn balloon rides

is very popular in Bagan and equally surprising, like a balloon

after balloon drifts over the temples.

3) STICK AROUND AND EXPLORE THE

PAGODAS AND TEMPLES AFTER

SUNRISE

• Sunrise in Bagan usually requires middle of the night wake up

of call, so it is understandable that when the sun rises there is a

mass exodus of the crowd returning back to your hotel for some

well-deserved naps and breakfast. Resist the temptation! A few

hours after sunrise, is an excellent opportunity to take some

amazing light in the now deserted temples!

4) LOOK INSIDE THE TEMPLES AND

PAGODAS!

• Bagan is known for its spectacular views from the roof of the

countless temples at sunrise and sunset, but inside the temples

and pagodas worth a visit too. Reclining Buddha, stone carving

and stone statues in abundance along the temples and

pagodas of Bagan. Our favorites were Sulemani and Manuha

for indoor adventures.

5) TEMPLE SELLERS

• There is no way to avoid the souvenir and elephant pant

sellers, which is often visited every dawn, dusk, and in the

medium term, the most popular temples of Bagan. Many of

them are young children who have polished their sales

technique and is very easy to feel that you need to buy one and

all. If it does, a firm NO goes a long way to be left alone to

enjoy the experience.

6) FAMILIES WHO LOOK AFTER THE

PAGODAS AND TEMPLES

• Temples and pagodas are opened and closed by the families

who live on nearby land and are responsible for key temple.

Tipping opening sunrise and remain open to the sun, it is

considered a kind gesture. Their children are also susceptible

to light up the dark stairs with candle light and request a

present. Accepted to give a little without their services, sunrises

and experience will be a very different experience.

7) MIND YOUR HEAD!

• Temples are definitely not built for anyone over 5 feet! Watch

your head and wait to pass through small spaces to reach the

top. There is often a lot of climbing involved in getting to the

prime sunrise and sunset positions and sometimes great

heights have to be scaled! I'm not a big fan of heights, but there

are a lot of defensive walls, which made the experience much

easier!

8) BRING A TORCH OR A HEADLAMP

• A significant part of Bagan adventure takes place at dawn and

at dusk. So, to put it more clearly in the dark! Flashlight or

headlamp is essential to successful navigation pre-sunrise and

after sunset in Bagan streets and sidewalks, stairs and dark

temple. Place a flashlight on the top of your packing list!

9) DRESS CONSERVATIVELY FOR

TEMPLE AND PAGODA VISITS

• Most people dress conservatively and cover their shoulders and

legs, in spite of the high temperatures. Knee shorts, skirts,

elephant pants and t-shirts our choice of clothing. They are

often recommended and used to enter the temples and

pagodas. We did see short shorts and vests tops but we felt

more comfortable keeping in line with the locals.

10) FLIP FLOPS ARE ESSENTIAL

• Each temple and pagoda requires bare feet, flip-flops and their

visitors are the easiest option. You will notice that every

Burmese people legs decorated flip-flops, probably because it

is not fun to play with the laces in the dust and heat! Wet wipes

may also be used for cleaning the said bare feet after visiting

the pagodas!

Popa Mountain is a sacred mountain temples glittering gold precariously on top of an extinct volcano. 777 steps lead to the top of the path, not only are the steps climbed in the temperature of 40 degrees, which are also filled with many monkeys in search of food!
