Nyaung Lat Phet Viewing Mound, Bagan

Bagan, the most famous tourist attraction in Myanmar is the home of more than 3000 pagodas and temples. Bagan is famous for its amazingly gorgeous sunset and the image of sunsetting behind the plain of Bagan is mesmerizing.

The breathtaking sunset view is completed with the truly amazing pagodas, shiny river, grayish mountains, and bloody sky. Finding a great-spot to get the perfect-picture of sunset is not hard but you need to know where to go.

Many visitors and tourists choose to climb up the temples to see the sunset but this can harm the ancient temples. And also visitors are not allowed to climb up some of the temples from time to time. But we still need to have a place to enjoy Sunset.

There are three manmade hills in Komauk, Nyaungletphet, and Sulamani. The three manmade hills are located close to Sulamani temple and Anauk Phwarsaw Village.

Those manmade hills are made to reduce the risk of damaging the pagodas from the sunset watchers. The manmade hills have 360-view of the Bagan plain and one of the best-places to watch both sunrise and sunset.
