Bagan – the ancient city with a soul

Being in Myanmar and not visiting Bagan, an ancient city still waiting to be enlisted the UNESCO World Heritage Site, would equal to not seeing the temples of Angkor while your stay in Cambodia. The Kingdom of Pagan gave rise to the modern Myanmar (Burma) and was the first kingdom unifying regions. The admission fee every tourist has to pay when entering Bagan Archaeological Zone is $ 25 and it’s valid for 5 days. To visit this wonderful city on a budget we rented an e-bike (electronic bicycle) for 10.000MMK (7,50USD) for the whole day. Exploring Bagan on an e-bike was pure fun 🙂

Living on water in Inle Lake

Inle Lake – a magical place, especially at 7am when boats can start traversing this most famous and second-largest lake in Myanmar (its surface area: 116 square kilometres). You can take a longer trip to get to distant villages. It will cost you only 10,000MMK / 7,50USD per person (the boat for 2 people) to set off on a 6-8h trip and to enjoy the views of life on the water, and much more.
