Day 6 Peregrine Tour with Local Guide Ko Ko Aye in Began.
Today we explored the sights and sounds of Began from dawn to dusk. I started earlier than my peregrine tour group as I enjoyed Balloons over Began first. My tour group spotted me from the ground.
The first place we visited today was Nyaung U's lively market, very noisy , busy, hustle and bustle and bargains to be had by our group. After the market we left the noisy market to visit a selection of temples in Bagan.
Our tour group really enjoyed visiting the eerie silence of the Bagan plains beyond, which are littered with over 4900 + structures, including Gawadawpalin, Thatbyinnyu, Ananda and Shwezigon. The names of the temples and pagodas here are a testament to the glorious past of the region.
Being lucky enough to see these temples and pagodas and many more from the air by balloon made it even more special. Our last temple of the day we waited for the sunset to come and then it was off home.
