6 – 10 August 2013 – Bagan, Myanmar

Located on the banks of the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River, the ancient city of Bagan has the highest concentration of Buddhist temples, pagodas, stupas and ruins in the world.

The temple site was too large to explore on foot so on one day we chose to explore the site on one of Bagan’s many horse carts.

One morning, we walked from our hotel to a quiet area of the site on the banks of the Irrawaddy River.  We didn’t see a single tourist but we saw several temples and villagers going about their daily lives.
