Walking To My First Sunrise at Bagan, Myanmar
This guy on a scooter wanted to give me a ride and I told him I had a reservation in Old Bagan and I stepped on the back of his scooter. We dissapeared into the dark night and landscape of Myanmar.
After one or two K I started to see something being light in the landscape and I was anxious to see what it was… It took me a while to realise that it was my first temple of Bagan!! It made me so happy to arrive at night!!
Walking To My First Sunrise at Bagan, Myanmar
I was lucky to get some rest in the lobby of my hotel for a while. It was at the Thande Hotel in Old Bagan. The hotel is situated near the Irrawaddi river and next to one of the biggest temples. Early that morning I started walking to get the first look at the best sunrise at Bagan!!!
At first I couldn’t get on a big temple, I didn’t saw many people walking and didn’t see stairs or anything. I ofcourse knew of my research that you could get on top of temples so I asked a man where to go. A man on a horse carrigde told me to walk ahead and to turn left at the big intersection.

Sunrise at Bagan
I did exactly what the man told me and in no time I began to see temples, the sun and the hot air balloons! What a great sighting already. I was really tired after a bumpy night in a not to comfortable bus but this boosted me totally 🙂
After a couple of minutes walking I also saw a big temple with many tourist on it. I was just in time to see the rest of the beautiful sunrise! I was so happy! I climbed the temple without even noticing how many people were already there, I just wanted to get to the top!
What a great view!!!
