See the most important pagodas of Bagan on a half-day tour through one of the most spiritually and architecturally rich places in the world. Enjoy round-trip transportation from your Bagan-area hotel as you tour the ancient royal capital.

Bagan served as the royal capital of the ancient Kingdom of Pagan from the 9th to 13th centuries. During that time, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas, and monasteries were constructed according to the traditions of Theravada Buddhism—a school utilizing the oldest recorded Buddhist texts as its primary doctrine.

Today, the remains of over 2,200 temples and pagodas remain standing, providing incredible architectural richness in a dense area. But these structures serve as more than just architectural objects—the intricate stuccos and murals inscribed on the buildings are works of art in and of themselves. As you tour the area, learn many fascinating details, including how to spot the differences between the stupas and temples.

Visit 4 famous pagodas of Bagan: Shwezigon Pagoda, Thatbyinnyu Temple, Ananda Temple, and Dhamayangyi Temple. At the end of the tour, transfer back to your hotel.
