Bagan is the most amazing sight in Myanmar. It is situated on the eastern bank of Ayeyarwaddy River and it is the main tourist attractions in Myanmar. It is one of the richest archeological sites in Asia. As all of you see, the entire Bagan’s thickly covered and pagodas of all sizes and shapes and the ground is studded with remnants of variously shrines. So, one can say that a visit to Myanmar cannot be termed complete without visit to Bagan.

This temple is one of the rare types of temples where stone was widely used. Though the main structure is brick, soft sandstone was also added for aesthetic purposes. With perforated windows and carved stone relief’, Nanpaya is an example of workmanship from the early Bagan period.

Thatbyinnyu was built in 1144 A.D by King Alaungsithu, the noted sea-traveller of the dynasty. It is about 201 feet high and the tallest in Bagan. This guphaya’s interior planning is said to be one of the most unique and innovative works of Bagan. The stairway, for example is unlike other monuments. It is intricately built to give a feeling to the pilgrim of a mountaineering experience to the peak of the Cosmic Mountain. There are stone pillars for hanging a large bell in the precinct, but the bell must have been looted or misused somehow long, long ago.
