NEW DESTINATION - BAGAN
Some 300 km southwest of Mandalay and 700 km north of Yangon, Bagan is to Myanmar what Angkor is to Cambodia, Ayuthia is to Thailand and Borobudur is to Indonesia - the most magnificent architectural flourish of an ancient people.
Sprawling away from the banks of the Irrawaddy River, more than 2,200 temples, pagodas, stupas and ruins grace more than a 100 square kilometres.
Some date back to the 11th and 12th Centuries, and all contribute to what National Geographic hails as “one of Southeast Asia’s greatest archaeological heritage sites.”
