Additional Information

By embarking on a cycling journey, one can discover a different facet of Bagan, the renowned archaeological site, known for its temples. Beyond the common tourist routes, Bagan’s environs offer a wealth of opportunities to experience its more genuine side, amidst local life and countryside. Despite certain stretches featuring sandy trails, the paths are typically level and seamlessly navigable, ideal for biking. One way to explore Bagan’s scenery is a five-hour bicycle tour coupled with a three-hour temple tour. Following the local irrigation system routing water from the Irrawaddy into the hinterlands retells the story of a dry region sustaining the growth of cereals, rice, fruit, and peanuts year-round. Observe traditional Burmese rural life up-close and have engaging interactions with the local inhabitants. This day excursion progresses through slender, vehicle-inaccessible lanes, leading you astray from the usual tourist circuits.
