It's a short flight from Yangon to Bagan where your guide will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. Once checked-in you will have the rest of the day free to settle in or to explore at leisure.

During your time here your guide will take you on a tour of the extraordinary sights. You’ll explore the famous archaeological zone and beyond taking in magical sunsets and local-life with quiet moments away from the crowds. The pinnacle of this experience will be a hot-air balloon ride over Bagan, soaring over the vast expanse of one of Southeast Asia’s most spectacular sites.
