Our guide will pick you up at the hotel and we begin our journey into the Ancient Kingdom of Bagan. We start with a visit to the Nyaung U Market, the largest market in the Bagan region, to get a glimpse into the local life. We also see how cottage industries like brick making are carried out with traditional methods. We continue to the gilded Shwezigon Stupa, purported to contain a holy tooth relic of the Buddha. And then Kyansitha Umin, a cave temple, the long dimly lit corridors are decorated with frescoes, some believed painted by Tartar invaders during the Mongol occupation after 1287.Next, we visit Gubyaukgyi (Wet-Kyi-Inn), this 13th-century ‘cave temple’ has an Indian-style spire like the Mahabodhi Paya in Bagan. It is interesting for the fine frescoes of scenes from the Jatakas.

In the afternoon, visit to Htilominlo Temple to learn how Burmese sand paintings are created. The day’s temple tour continues with a visit to the beautifully symmetric and majestic Ananda Temple with its four standing Buddha images that seem to gaze at the viewer with fixed serenity wherever the viewer stands. Then we visit Dhamayangyi Temple, the largest temple of Bagan with the thickest walls and the SULAMANI TEMPLE. Finally, proceed to Bupaya Or Shwesandaw Pagoda to watch the sunset over the famous Ayeyarwaddy River.
