Why Bagan, Myanmar.
Bagan’s plain holds more than 2,000 Buddhist temples and pagodas built between the 11th and 13th centuries — a UNESCO World Heritage Site of staggering scale.
The dawn hot-air-balloon flight over the mist-wrapped temples is one of the iconic sights of Asia (subject to season and conditions).
The great monuments — Ananda, Shwezigon, and Dhammayangyi — anchor a landscape best explored slowly by e-bike between brick spires.
The Irrawaddy River runs alongside, and a sunset boat or a climb to a viewing terrace delivers the temple-studded panorama.
Note: check current government travel advisories before planning Myanmar — the political situation has affected access and safety in recent years.
