Day trip destinations from Nyaung-U

A year in the making..... I got the shot I wanted after a lot of research, 17’000kms and a week of travel, a very early morning, a sketchy, sandy motorbike ride and a little bit of blind luck in the form of a local kid who pointed me in the right direction. These are the Balloons over Bagan, Myanmar. #Adventure #adventurephotocontest
