We thought the Myanmar Government had cracked down on climbing temples but as of October 2017, tourists can
still climb numerous temples in Bagan. Many temples have access to upper levels via internal stairways (watch your head and bring a torch). Souvenir sellers are only too pleased to lead you in the right direction (just look at their wares afterwards). No pressure, though.
Remove shoes (climbing is easier anyway), no shorts, no socks, no singlets. Wear long pants or sarongs.

| This temple (5 mins walk from Bagan Thande Hotel) is perfect for sunrise viewing |
The 13 storey viewing tower on the edge of the historical area is an alternative. Views are comparable to views from balloons (a Bagan bargain at $US5 admission vs $US 350) Balloons can not fly over temple area.
 |
| Go to the Bagan Viewing Tower (near Nyaung-U Airport) before 9 a.m. so the sun is behind you for best view of the temple area. |

| Bring a torch and mind your head. |

| Follow the e-bikes for the best view |

| e-bike hire is cheap , top speed 40km/h, easy to ride |
