The 7 Wonders of Bagan, Myanmar

The main tourist destination in Myanmar is Bagan. It is the capital of the first Myanmar Empire. And is also one of the richest archaeological sites in South-east Asia. The magic of Bagan has inspired visitors to Myanmar for nearly 1000 years. Bagan covers an area of 42 sq.km containing over 2000 well-preserved pagodas and temples of the 11^th -13^th century.

1.   Ananda Temple

The yellow sandstone hues of the restored portions of Ananda Contrast with the sooty looking, crumbling stone of the old. It’s one of the sights to explore when in Myanmar

2.   Sulamani Guphaya Temple

Navigating the steep, narrow stairwell to emerge onto the sun lead rooftop of Sulamani Guphaya reminds you that these temples were not intended for Giants. Legs dangling over the side, basking in the sun and solitude, it is possible to take in panoramic views of endless stupas stretching off to the horizon

3.   Dhammayangyi Temple  

One of the bigger complexes with an array of stalls surrounding the foundations, only its outer corridor is accessible. It’s cool and refreshing, an ideal hangout place

4.   Shwezigon Pagoda

It is one of the glitzier temples, and is one of the hidden treasures of Myanmar. Another most important fact of this pagoda is that it is coated with gold. Also note that before entering this temple, you will have to remove your shoes and wander the cool concrete soaking up the magnificence of the glistening, golden stupa, shimmering in the sunlight

5.   Any temple at Sunset

Many of the smaller temples prove a draw at Sunset when even the least impressive become a photographer’s delight. Claw your way upto the steep stairs and squeeze yourself into prime viewing position to watch one of the most dramatic sunsets you will ever witness

6.   Horse Carts  

In a world which has become increasingly homogenized, Myanmar stands out like a black sheep. Here you will feel that time stood still with the main traffic being herds of horse and cart, carrying tourist back to their hotels

7.   Facial Decoration   

People here put Thanaka (the most pure form of sunscreen) on their skin. They grind the bark of Thanaka tree and make it into a fine paste and apply it on skin.
