Arrival to Bagan
I finally stayed longer than expected in Nyaung Shwe. I really loved the place, the village, the lake, the people, the kids,…and “it was not so touristic” as I imagined, if you just rent a bike and get lost!
See you next time!!! <3<3<3
But time goes by real fast, so move on! Bagan there we go!
7AM pickup and 10h bus, with many stops and locals up & down sitting in the middle corridor (classic!).
As the arrival was in the evening, after the check in, had a couple hours to inspect Nyaung U village, the “backpacker” upper part of Bagan, where you can see the day life of the local people and some “minor” temples (there are actually 2.200 in Bagan)…
…until you arrive to the Shwezigon Pagoda, one of the most important pagodas in all of Myanmar, built in the 11th century, which served as the original model for the pagoda of the same name in Yangon.
Finally, a pleasant walk back to the hotel, with some beautiful images of the Bagan umbrellas at night…
