Bagan, Myanmar
The City of a Thousand Sunrises
If cities had auras, Bagan’s would glow in gold and dust.
Bagan is a dreamscape carved in brick, mist, and ancient prayer, where hot air balloons drift like floating dreams, and over 2,000 ancient temples rise from the mist like forgotten giants waking up.
Tucked away in central Myanmar (formerly Burma), Bagan is less of a place and more of a feeling. It’s what happens when history, serenity, and wanderlust hold hands at golden hour.
PB Travels is now offering exclusive Myanmar itineraries, and Bagan is the kind of place we couldn’t not include. Here’s why.
The Magic of Bagan: A Brief Love Letter
Imagine a landscape dotted with ancient temples as far as the eye can see, each one whispering stories of kings, monks, and celestial dreams. Sunrise balloon rides, biking between forgotten stupas and so much more make Bagan a place where time folds in on itself, and you’re left wandering through the echoes.
And the best part? Bagan still feels undiscovered. It’s not swamped with crowds. There are no Starbucks in sight. Just dust trails, ancient bricks, and golden spires catching fire in the sunlight.
Where Is Bagan?
Why Bagan Is So Iconic
Bagan was the capital of the Pagan Kingdom between the 9th and 13th centuries. At its peak, over 10,000 religious monuments, temples, stupas, and monasteries, were built across its plains. Today, around 2,000 remain, creating one of the greatest archaeological sites on Earth.
That there is more than history. It’s a living, breathing time capsule that you get to explore up close. And trust us: pictures don’t do it justice.

What to Eat in Bagan?
You haven’t been to Myanmar until you’ve had tea leaf salad (laphet thoke), mohinga (rice noodle fish soup), and sweet, milky tea. PB Travels includes meals at authentic local spots where the food is homemade, the mango juice is fresh, and the flavours hit different when you’re eating with temple views.
Bagan Travel Tips from PB Travels
Bagan Is for Dreamers
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like Indiana Jones and a poet in the same afternoon, Bagan is your place.
Ticking landmarks off a list is for your everyday trips. Bagan is about the golden quiet. The orange dust on your shoes. The way a centuries-old mural catches sunlight just right. It’s about standing in a temple that hasn’t changed for 900 years, and realizing you’ve changed just by being there.
And when you go with PB Travels, you won’t just visit Bagan. You’ll remember it every time you see a sunrise and feel your chest swell with something you can’t quite name.
