Old Bagan, an ancient city in Myanmar, offers an unparalleled experience exploring thousands of Buddhist temples, pagodas, and stupas spread across a vast plain. The site is generally accessible, with popular modes of transport including e-bikes (around $5-10/day), bicycles, horse carts, or guided tours by car. Solo exploration by e-bike provides immense freedom to discover hidden gems, while guided tours offer historical insights and cover more ground efficiently; hot air balloon rides also provide a breathtaking aerial perspective. The best time to visit is during the cool, dry season from November to February; the hot season (March-May) can be intense, and the rainy season (June-October) might make some paths muddy. Visitors must purchase a Bagan Archaeological Zone Pass, typically costing around $20-25 USD. A typical visit duration of 2-4 days is recommended to fully appreciate the area, including iconic sunrises and sunsets over the temple-studded landscape. Remember to dress modestly (knees and shoulders covered) and remove shoes when entering temples for respectful exploration.
