Adventure in Bagan
I have just returned from a fun, active and adventurous tour with Chit from Grasshopper Adventures in Bagan. Once we had our bikes sorted, we took off at a pace to suit the group and explored the dirt paths and temples of Bagan. Chit was welcoming, friendly, helpful and informative in giving us information on the temples we visited. He ensured we had plenty of water and rest stops as required and took great care of us. We finished with the sunset boat trip on the river which was a great way to finish the tour - beer and snacks as the sun sets! I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Bagan from a different aspect.

Excellent Day!
I booked a full day, combining the Bagan Morning Ride along with the Bike and Boat Tour. Great day biking through the Archaeological Zone, various townships, and finishing up on the Ayeyarwady with a sunset boat ride. On both the morning and afternoon sessions I was fortunately guided by Goldsmith, a very personable, knowledgeable, witty, and patient local gentleman, who truly made the day a great experience for me. His familiarity with both the area and the local residents made for great fun! I highly recommend these tours.

Best tour we have ever done!
I signed my boyfriend and I up for the morning bike tour + sunrise option and we absolutely loved the experience! Our guide Chit deserves a lot of the credit for keeping the tour so authentic, fun and informative. After the tour we were so glad to have signed up for it knowing there is no way we would have seen the places we did or tried the foods we did without Chit and Grasshopper Adventures help. Highly recommend!

Why travel with us
Mystical Pagodas
From our favorite viewpoint, you’ll watch breathlessly as the sun rises over the many spires of the pagodas and stupas dotting the Bagan plains. These Buddhist sites will be the backdrop of your ride as you cycle paths through them, stopping at the most significant temples for a closer look.
Why travel with us
Village Life
As you pedal through pagodas, you’ll witness the slow pace of life in the Burmese dryzone villages. Here, children, dogs, chickens, pigs, oxen, and maybe even horses wander the streets and busy markets show off local produce. Visit an artist’s workshop in the principal town Nyaung U where bamboo houses and old brick warehouses line the narrow streets for an immersion in rural Burmese life.
Why travel with us
Tea Culture
Myanmar is known for its tea culture, which is part of the cultural experience of Bagan. Stop by a typical Tea Shop for a sampling of the 12 different ways to make Burmese tea, or a typical Tea Shop Lunch filled with local treats for an authentic experience. Sample tea leaf salad, as the Burmese drink and eat their tea!
