One of Bagan's largest and most imposing temples. It was completed in the 13th century and its name means "Throne from which Homage is Paid".
walking in temple bar is an explosion of colors...and not only cause of the beer you probably drunk in the pub...
The evening sun casts a glowing hue over a 15th century tomb in the Gwalior Fort complex. The rambling branches of the dead tree, imprinting an impression of a mesh around the tomb creates a mood of death and desolation.
I came to the Golden Temple first during the day. It was fairly crowded with the devout and tourists alike.

There is no better way to traverse the Bagan plain than by horse cart. It allows you to hop between temples without the constant turn of the ignition and in the heat of a Burman dry season, you can be happy that the only thing you are contributing to is the local economy and not global warming.
Every night in Bagan the slow pace of the day is broken by a mad rush to secure the best viewing spot to watch the sun set. A race to your location of choice however just means that the clop of your horse's hooves are all the more rhythmical.
This scene will be lush green during the high season (November to February) when it is cooler and not as dry. The low season (March to May) is deathly hot (40C +) and you will be dripping in sweat, even at night, but it is also blissfully empty.
Traveling slowly by horse cart you will get to experience the sights and sounds of Burmese daily life.
