First-Timer's Guide to Myanmar — Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Lashio | The Travel Intern
Myanmar. What an absolute stunner. On this adventure, we got to visit Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake and Lashio!
Check out what we did here:
YANGON (00:23)
00:25 - Shwedagon Pagoda
Probably the most iconic landmark in Yangon — The Shwedagon Pagoda, which lights up at night and is truly a sight to behold.
BAGAN (00:37)
The best way to get around Bagan, both New Bagan and Old Bagan, is to rent an e-bike, or a normal bicycle would do!
00:58 - Bagan Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Experience
Famous for its hot air balloon ride, we hopped on the tour and got to experience it for ourselves! To catch the sunrise while floating and drifting amidst the clouds was so surreal.
01:15 - Lawkananda Pagoda
Situated on the top of the Irrawaddy River, this is not to be missed!
01:24 - Ananda Temple
Be awed by the beautiful and intricate architecture here.
01:34 - Wonders of Salay & Mount Popa Day Tour
Don't be detered by the 777 steps to reach the top — It is SO WORTH IT.
MANDALAY (01:47)
01:49 - Rv Nmai Hka Irrawaddy River Cruise
It might be 12 hours, but it was a good 12 hours, experiencing the seas and the journey from Bagan to Mandalay.
02:01 - U Bein Bridge
Either the sunrise, or the sunset, they are both spectacular. This bridge is the longest and oldest teakwood bridge in the world!
02:10 - Dee Dote Waterfall
Located deep in the mountainous region one hour away from Mandalay by car, lies this blue lagoon. The hike up to this sweet spot is WORTH IT!
02:34 - Mandalay Hill
WE KNOW it seems like you gotta hike all the time in Myanmar, but really, when you're at the top, don't you think you get the best views? :-)
INLE LAKE (02:49)
One of the must-dos if you're ever in Myanmar, is to get on a boat and explore the ins and outs of Inle Lake!
LASHIO (03:03)
03:08 - Gokteik Viaduct
The best way to travel to Lashio — by train! Get to admire the different landscapes of the countryside~
03:19 - Mountain Biking Exploration
Adrenaline junkies — This is for you! It's definitely not an easy bike path, let us assure you. But worth every bump on the road.
03:35 - Myanmar Adventure Outfitters
03:39 - Dark Horse Falls
Some of us didn't dare to cliff jump because it was THAT scary, but being up there and in the heart of all the action with other travellers made it one of our best moments during this trip!
04:01 - Homestay at Ban Khaw Village
We got to stay in a local homestay and immersed ourselves in the local culture. They were SO warm and friendly, and welcomed us with the biggest open arms ever. :-)
Would you go on the same adventure? :-D Let us know!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

Travel Bagan, Myanmar - The Temples of Bagan
Take a tour of Temples of Bagan in Myanmar -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
The jungles of Bagan, Myanmar, are dotted with thousands of spires rising out of the trees.
These are the tops of the some 2,200 temples and pagodas in the area.
The abundance of structures, most over 700 years old make Bagan an archaeological hot spot.
There used to be thousands of more temples in Bagan, but most are now ruins.
Quite a few still remain, though, and some contain beautiful Buddhist trappings and decorations.
Even those that have been emptied or robbed are renowned for their intricate architecture.
The range in sizes, shapes, and styles of the temples ensure that visitors won't grow bored.
With many square miles of temple-containing jungle, Bagan is a visit for several days.
Bagan Temples Are CLOSED?! | Myanmar's Most Famous Sight Is Changing (HONEST REVIEW)
The iconic Bagan temples in Myanmar are a must see for any world traveller. But what is Bagan REALLY like to visit in 2020?
The experience of exploring the ruined temples is not what it used to be. Climbing temples to find rooftop views is becoming a thing of the past, with most temples now locked up and restricted to tourists.
But can you still find temples in Bagan with rooftop viewpoints? And should you STILL visit Bagan? We spent 3 days exploring the plains to find out.

???????? 2013 Myanmar Tour Part 1: Kyaiktiyo, Naypyidaw & Bagan
Video documentary of our Myanmar motorcycle Tour back in March 2013. Segment covers leaving Mae Sot and visits to Kyaiktiyo Golden Rock Pagoda, capital city of Naypyidaw and ancient Bagan.
River Tour Mandalay to Bagan, Myanmar
Taking a boat on the Ayeryarwady River is one of the Mandalay's delights. Since it was the slow tourist season here in Myanmar, only one boat a week was going from the city to our next destination the ancient city of Bagan. This trip would allow us to slowly (about 8 hours) to see the interior of the countryside.
Small villages dot the riverbanks with the locals carrying on their everyday life. As we make our way south we see many temples and pagodas with their golden mounts. The day was sunny and clear, but the light wind from the boats movement keep us comfortable as we meander our way.
