Bagan
If you wanting to travel to Myanmar then you can’t do so without visiting Bagan. It is like going to Paris and not going to see the Eiffel Tower. Bagan is Myanmar’s temple town; between the 11th and 13th centuries over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed on its plains, of which over 2200 still remain today. The best way to discover this incredible area is by taking an early morning hot air balloon ride.
Bagan Golf Resort
Holes: 18, Yardage: 7,417, Par:72
Located right behind the Bagan Archaeological Zone and 10 minutes from Old Bagan this course lies in an incredible setting. The course is surrounded by temples, stupas and pagodas which al date back to the 11th century. The course is not the most challenging and more of a round for the senses rather than a go to golf destination. But playing a couple of rounds here while sightseeing is a great balance, with morning rounds recommended.

Mandalay
The city of Mandalay itself is not the most attractive apart from the old fort at its heart and great views of the city from Mandalay hill.
