Pagan is the most amazing sight in Myanmar if not Southeast
Asia. Across 40 sq km of the country, there are literally
thousands of stupas & temples. In every direction, you will
see ruins of all sizes, some soaring into the sky and others
standing quaintly at a corner. The meandering Irrawady
completes the scene.
Our exploration of this amazing archaeological site starts
from the golden stupa of Shwezigon. Then, we continue to
Kubyauk Gyi with exquisite mural and Ananda, rated by many
as the most beautiful in Pagan.
In the afternoon, we continue with Nanpaya, for its Mon
