Bagan, Myanmar

Over two thousand ancient temples scattered across a plain, best seen from a hot air balloon at dawn while the mist is still burning off, and an ox-cart pace of life that has not changed much around them.

The best time to visit Bagan is Nov–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (85°F).
