Was an ancient Kingdom responsible for building temples between

the 11th and 13th century. In fact, this early civilisation constructed
no less than 10,000 temples, monasteries, and pagodas within the
relatively small area of Bagan. This is by far one of the best Myanmar
tourist attractions and is one of the most visited places in the country.
You can rent an e-bike for a very reasonable price and explore the
ruinous temples independently. Some are larger and in better
conditions, whereas others are barely standing after centuries of
exposure to the elements. Watching the sunrise or sunset over these
ancient temples is a highlight for any tourist. If you’re not travelling
on a budget, you can take a hot air balloon ride to gaze down at the
temples and landscape below.
Tourists have to pay an entrance fee of MKK 25000 ($20) to enter
the archaeological zone of Old Bagan. You have to buy this before
leaving Nyaung U Airport near Bagan or the bus will take you to a
ticket office before you enter the town. The caves and waterfalls in Laos are unlike
any others in the world. The flowing water
at the natural Kuang Si waterfall in Luang
Prabang is one of the most stunning
waterfalls in the country. It cascades down
three tiers to a 50-meter drop.
Beneath the falls are a series of pools where
you can go for a swim and get the best view
by looking up at the grand falls. You can
change clothes in wooden huts that are
located on-site.
Your next stop in the area is the Pak Ou
natural caves that overlook the Mekong
River. There are two caves: Tham Ting and
the Tham Theung housing thousands of
Buddha statues that locals have gifted over
the centuries.
