Today’s highlight is the sunset beauty from the Shwesandaw Pagoda. Then, transfer back to the hotel.
Our tour service offers a wonderful overview of Bagan’s history, culture, and local ways of life in addition to the temples. Visit the villages close to Bagan today to observe how the majority of Burmese people actually live. Later, as you tour Bagan by pony cart, which enables access to distant locations that are inaccessible to cars, you will see the city from a variety of angles.

The first day was amazing with a moderate half day walk ending up at the waterfall which was a great way to cool off and relax (and take amazing photos). Our tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and accommodating of our needs. Regrettably we had to cancel our 2nd day due to us needing to fly home ASAP because of imminent border closures for the COVID-19 pandemic. We politely asked the manager (Phai) for a refund and he was very understanding even though we knew it was a tough time for them. They couldn't refund our 2nd day on the spot but they promised to put it through on the following Monday when they went to the bank. We were pleased and grateful that they lived up to their promise to do it, so I want to say they are an honest and ethical operator. Thank you!read less
