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.
