Itinerary
Day 1 - Bagan

Arrival in Bagan
Transfer
Visit Ananda Pahto
one of the finest, largest, best preserved and most revered
of the Bagan temples. Thought to have been built around 1105
by King Kyanzittha, this perfectly proportioned temple heralds
the stylistic end of the Early Bagan period and the beginning
of the Middle period.
Visit Gubyaukgyi Temple at Myinkaba
Built in 1113 by Kyanzittha's son Rajakumar, this temple is
famous for its well-preserved stuccos from the 12th century
on the outside walls. The magnificent paintings date from the
original construction of the temple and are considered to be
the oldest original paintings in Bagan.
Visit Shwesandaw Pagoda
In 1057 King Anawrahta built this Pagoda following his conquest
of Thaton. This is the first monument in Bagan, which features
stairways leading up from the square bottom terraces to the
round base of the Stupa. This Pagoda is ideal to watch Bagan's
magnificent sunsets.
Visit Shwezigon Pagoda
King Anawrahta started the construction of the Schwezigon Pagoda
to enshrine some relicts of Buddha. The construction was finished
by his successor, King Kyansittha between 1086 and1090. Originally
the Shwezigon Pagoda marked the northern end of the city of
Bagan. The stupa's graceful bell shape became a prototype for
virtually all later stupas over Myanmar.

Sightseeing Bagan
Mahabodhi Temple: Inspired by the Mahabodhi
at Bodh Gaya in India, this temple was built during the reign
of King Nantaungmya (1211 1234). Temples of this nature
only appeared during the Late Bagan period and the Mahabodhi
is the only one of this style in Bagan.
Dhamayangyi Temple: The brickwork of this
temple is said to rank one of the finest in Bagan. Built in
the 12th century, it is not exactly clear by which King actually
started the construction. Some sources say it was King Narathu,
others say it was constructed a little earlier, during the reign
of King Alaungsithu.
Sulamani Temple: Built in 1181 by King
Narapatisithu this temple is one of the best examples of the
later, more sophisticated temple styles. Carved stucco on mouldings,
pediments and pilasters represents some of Bagans finest
ornamental work and is in fairly good condition.
Nandamannya Temple: This small, single
chambered temple is dating from the 13th century. The mural
paintings in the interior tell the story of the temptation
of Mara.
Thatbyinnyu Temple: This temple rises up
to 61 meters and is one of Bagans tallest monuments. It
is also called the Omniscient temple and its enormous
size makes it a classic example of Bagans middle period.
King Alaungsithu built the Thatbyinnyu Temple in the 12th century.
