Bagan was one of my favourite places when I visited Myanmar for the first time, 7 years ago. It's an incredibly stunning place with more than 2000 temples of several thousand of years old scattered around the valley. But to reach this place and explore the sandy trails leading to the temples, I had to ride for 9 hours! Needless to say I was pretty exhausted after this day - but it was definitely worth catching those last rays of sun over the temples before night fell.
