Visit archeological wonders and charming villages on two-wheels with this fantastic Bagan biking day tour. See some of Myanmar's most impressive sites, discover lesser-known pagodas and learn about local life while cycling with an English-speaking Bagan resident.We start from our conveniently located shop and ride through the back lanes to get into the temple plains. We quickly leave the sealed, busy roads behind and venture off onto dirt tracks, only accessible to bikes and horses.
It's not long before we are pedalling alongside ancient brick structures, pausing to visit some of the most famous monuments like Shwesandaw, Ananda and Shwezigon as well as several hidden gems. When biking we'll often be greeted by friendly farmers working in the fields next to our bike lanes and we will be sure to seek out an elevated temple to climb up for a different view of the Bagan Plain.
Aside from temples, Bagan is still a buzzing little town and we'll be sure to explore some of the traditions and lifestyles of its people. The village roads are lined with single-story bamboo houses standing adjacent to unique 1950s, brick warehouses. Kids on a break from school, snack vendors and a menagerie of pigs, cows and the occasional horse greet us along the way. We'll stop to see the production of local treats and pay a visit to the friendly neighbours.
We cap off the morning with a visit to a tea shop where we will sample unique snacks and, of course sip a cup of sweet Myanmar tea. Then we'll travel by local truck or van back to your hotel concluding the tour around 12-1pm.
