Bagan Biking Tour to New Bagan

One of the most popular activities in Bagn must be visiting the ancient pagodas and stupas. As this land is the home of over 2000 pagodas, there is no other transport more exciting than a Bagan Biking Tour to New Bagan!

Our half-day tour begins with a direct pickup at your hotel lobby by an Asia Private Travels guide and driver. Then, the group will be transferred to the bike garage, where the bike fitting process begins, and the instructors will give you some heads up. After a quick warm-up, the true adventure sets off as we ride straight along the main road of New Bagan. We will come across the Tharabar Gate, which is the only surviving gate of Bagan, and then the archaeological zone will be right in front of us. 

Travelers with mountain bikes can discover the more narrow, sandy paths intersecting the complex. However, those riding local and e-bikes should only stick to the paved and hard-packed roads throughout this Bagan short tour.

During the journey through the ancient capital of the Burmese Empire, you will have a chance to visit some of the main monuments of Bagan, such as Dhammayangyi and Ananda, the largest temple and the fusion of Mon and Indian architecture styles. Besides, other astonishing temples can also be on the list per your preference if the time of this Myanmar escorted tour allows.

Continuing the biking tour, Bagan visitors will visit a traditional village and meet local people. Feel free to learn about their lifestyle and long traditions as their livelihoods are hospitable.

After ending the active trip, you will ride the bike back to the starting point and then back to the hotel.
