Pagodas closed in Bagan | THIS is where you should go to climb Sunrise/Sunset April 2019

The “bucket list” thing to do in Bagan, the ancient city in central Myanmar, is to climb a pagoda and see the hot air balloons rise over the temples at sunrise.

However it is now ILLEGAL to climb them. Our vlog will show you what we did to see the most magical sunrise APRIL 2019.

As of 2018, officials banned temple climbing in Bagan because the temples are old and may not be sturdy, posing a safety risk to visitors.

Some officials said that the climbing ban was also due to religious reasons.

Guards have now closed up the entrances with locks, gates and sometimes prickly branches making it impossible to climb up.

As much as we agree 100% that these pagodas should be protected, we will show you how we were still able to climb some pagodas in 2019.

Keep in mind that we were in Bagan from April 17-20th 2019, so these pagodas and everything we are showing you can change in the upcoming weeks!

We used the app Maps.me where a number of other tourists keep you in the loop as to which pagodas are still opened and where you can see the best sunrise or sunset!

Don’t forget to be respectful to preserve these beautiful stupas: walk barefoot and don’t destroy pagodas just to climb up.
