Myanmars answer to Angkor

We took a night bus, which was supposed to bring us to Bagan, but unfortunately it got stuck in a river. So we took our bags out of the bus... walked across the river to go the rest to Bagan in another busand  and sat in the aisle of the bus. (It needs a little adventure;) And we still arrived in time to start exploring the temples right away.

Bagan is a complex of more than 3000 temples scattered aroung the Town of Bagan. We went out in the early morning and climbed up the first temples we saw and found a stunning view over hundreds of temples!

unshakable we defied the 40 degrees and high humidity and kept exploring the temples. Not much is known about the history of Bagan and basically only dates (around 1000 years old). Maybe more archeological work will be done, once it got more into focus.

In the evening we looked out for a nice sunset view and were disappointed, since it was too cloudy to see anything. The impressions we got were already enough to stun us. It is hard to understand, why there is nobody there. The sight is stunning and yet, you seldom meet other people. But to be fair... this is one thing, what makes this place outstanding and this was an absolute highlight of this whole trip. Simply amazing...
