When to go

The best time to visit Myanmar in general but also Bagan is from November to February, during the dry season when it hardly rains in the region and the sky is almost always clear. From mid-March onwards, the heat can be quite intense, with maximums exceeding 40°C. From June onwards, this heat is associated with an increase in humidity. The monsoon season lasts from June to October. Despite flooding various parts of the country, it usually does not substantially affect the Bagan region.
