If you stay at the Aureum Palace, you have complimentary access to the Watch Tower. We went here the day before the hot air balloon experience and we felt it was a spoiler to the hot air balloon because it was a beautiful view. For people who are afraid to ride the balloon or don’t want to ride it, this is a very acceptable way to see Bagan
There is an enclosed portion of the tower before reaching the top
We went up to see the sunset. The photos does not justify and cannot capture the beauty that you will see when you see it yourself! A 360 degree view of Bagan which is truly God’s work!! It’s all worth it to come to Bagan just to go up to see this! A MUST!!!
There are around 2,500 temples/pagodas in Bagan
There are telescopes so you can zoom in on the view
