Temple Tours of Bagan & Balloons from Above

Bagan Temple Tour

The temples around Bagan are simply mind blowing, from the Shwezigon Pagoda to the ‘Cave’ Temple. With many more in between. Explore the Htilominlo and Ananda Temples before taking a horse-cart tour through the Tharaba Gateway to the Shwegugyi, ending up at the Thatbyinnyu Temple which is the tallest temple of them all.

Bagan Hot Air Balloon Ride

Up up and away! Enjoy a champagne breakfast and see the temples from above and get the movie star treatment. You get a totally different perspective from high up and getting a birds eye view on a sunrise balloon ride is even more thrilling.

Remote Temple Cycling Tour

Enjoy the temples by bike or at least some of them as there are far too many to visit in one week let alone a day. Take in the incredible views that you get when looking across this ancient city from Bu Lei Thee Pagoda and discover the temple complex in a different way. Cycling also get you much closer to the people and can give you a more enriching temple experience.

How to explore the temples

• Hire a Bike or Electric Bike
  For the more energetic the temples can be easily explored by bike or electric bike  with or without a guide. However we strongly recommend a guide on all of our trips. As they can safely navigate you round and take you to the very best temples and explain to you what you’re looking at.
• Horse & Cart
  If you are looking for something a little more traditional then why not visit at least one temple by horse & cart which is very popular with animal lovers.
• Air-Conditioned Car
  This is the most common way to see the temples due to the distance in between some of them as well as avoiding the heat and dust.
