You’ll meet your guide bright and early, and pick up your bike and helmet for the ride. You’ll get a quick lesson on safety, including proper practices and hand signals, as well as an overview of where we’ll be riding to. Then, we’re off! 

Warm up your legs with a 2 kilometer ride on sealed roads before turning westwards into the countryside. During the morning’s ride you will continue along this path to explore the local villages, like Nwar Kyo, Kan Poat and Tuwin Taung.

Aside from the fabulous views of rice paddies, toddy palms and distant temple spires you’ll also pass by a unique colonial-style monastery and ancient trees, like the shady tamarind tree in Let Wel village.

Around midday we will reach the base of the hills and bike parallel to them, affording great views of Shwe Pon Taung Pagoda and Bu Kin Pagoda.

During the journey we will stop for a picnic lunch in a shady spot while relaxing in the tranquil countryside. There will also be plenty of stops for water and photos. You get dropped off at your hotel full of your new knowledge about the ways of Bagan.

Distance: 25-35 kilometres (distance varies depends on number of villages visited; 90% dirt/sand track, 10% sealed road)
