Balloon over Bagan is considered as the best way to see the panorama of Bagan from bird eye view. It will be the most memorable experience in your Myanmar vacation. Beisdes, you can try some local vehicles such as horse carts, mini-vans and cycles. The weather in Bagan is fairy hot in daytime, so you can choose horse carts to explore magnificent temples.

I am traveling to Mandalay and Bagan, Myanmar next week. I concern about the current situation of flood and heavy rain in this country. Have these area affected at all?
at 10:54 am
At the moment, Myanmar is suffering heavy rain and flooding. Flooding happened in almost regions in Myanmar including Mandalay and Bagan, except from Yangon, Thanintharyi Regions and Kayah State. It would be better for you to take a trip in November which marks the end of rainy season in Myanmar.
