[S1- Eps. 17] BIKING BAGAN in Myanmar
Apr 2, 2025
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.
Good morning Internet, it is 7 in the morning and welcome to my channel
So I just had breakfast, I'm now going to pack my stuff and then we're going to have a briefing
and then we're off and today will be a nine hour ride to Bagan and Bagan was one of my
favorite places in Myanmar when I was here seven years ago so I am really excited
So I got briefed, I'm gonna go now, the rest is still, I don't know, having breakfast,
packing their stuff but I'm not gonna wait for them, I'll probably see them on the way anyway so
let's ride
So I just completed three hours riding so I'm now on one third of the way of today's ride which is
very long, the other riders and the guide are still somewhere behind me so I'm still riding
up front so the first three hours were through flat terrain but now I'll be riding for three
hours through hilly terrain with a lot of curves so that should be good and after that it will
again be three hours through flat terrain so still a long way to go
I'm still wearing my inner liner from riding in the mountains in India
and it's bloody hot so I'm gonna get a bit of it because I am sweating like a maniac
it is not normal so this is a pretty good system, I'll just take it out
Really awesome being here, the temples are awesome, there are over 2000 temples in the area
so I only managed to see a few before it got dark, tomorrow is going to be a slightly easier
day, I think it's only five hours of riding tomorrow. Thank you so much for watching this
