Itinerary
Day 1 - Starting: Bagan & Finishing: Bagan
Your Independent Experience starts today in Bagan with an arrival transfer. Meet your guide at your accommodation and get some tips on how to spend your first day exploring and the best place for dinner.
Day 2 - Starting: Bagan & Finishing: Bagan
The sights of Bagan will be explored from dawn to dusk. Nyaung U's lively market contrasts with the eerie silence of the plains beyond, which are littered with over 4000 structures, including Gawdawpalin, Thatbyinnyu, Ananda and Shwezigon. The names of the temples and pagodas here are a testament to the glorious past of the region. The area is also famous for producing lacquer-ware and sand paintings that are available in the stalls amidst the ruins. You may be able to do some of today’s exploration by horse and cart, and weather permitting; you will also enjoy a breathtaking sunset view from one of the ruins. For many travellers a hot air balloon experience is one of the highlights of their time in Bagan. This optional activity is a possibility for the mornings of Day 2 or Day 3, depending on availability. We recommend booking well in advance with Peregrine to secure a space. There are Premium and Standard service options available. If you have pre-booked this activity you will be picked up and driven to the launch site. You will then float over the hundreds of stupas and temples below, to watch at the morning glow illuminates this breathtaking landscape. Flights last between on average for 45 minutes (however they can range from 20 minutes to 1 hour depending on local conditions). After landing be treated to a celebratory glass of champagne and light breakfast. You will then be returned to your hotel. The experience is approximately 2.5 - 3 hours in total.
