Nyaung Lat Phet Viewing Mound (Sunset Viewpoint) in Chauk

Very happy to be there for taking photos of lake and sunset view

a must visit places in Nyaung Oo

A popular place to catch the sunrise in Bagan. I would say it’s not the best place as there were lots of tourists here and it’s a little tough to get some fantastic views.If u are in the vicinity, it’s worth coming here.

The view was not as good as expected. Hoards of vendors who won’t take no for an answer. Much better views from Nan Myint Tower (though more expensive).

We were told that this would be a nice mountain to see the sunrise. I guess we were most in translation and, as the name suggests, it really a small mound packed with tourists.It has a good view on the flying balloons but dont expect something extraordinary either. Must of the photos you will take might feature the big parking lot just in front of the mound...

Tft he sunrise side of the mound has a lot of trees on it.

Nice view for sunrise and sunset.

Lovely experience, great sunrise view.

Very nice place for sunsrise.

Took the same picture as everyone else does. Was a bit pricey getting there and back and a long wait in the morning before the balloons finally went up. It is worth it for the picture but at the same time you wont be missing much at all if you decide to skip it altogether and enjoy a lazy sleep in.

I’m not sure how my photos differed from the others uploaded but I found this lookout to be too far away from any temple to be of any value to take decent photos. It’s super crowded as every tour bus ends up here so it’s a fight to also get a view from the front. There’s much better areas around Bagan to snap some photos

Perfect site for viewing sunrise and the hot air balloon

Very pretty, bring something warm as it gets cold in the morning, try to find some place without a lot of people since most of them concentrate in one spot

Do not walk too far up the slope. Just a little walk beyond the street vendors. You will be in good shape to catch the scenic hot air balloons over the pagodas.

Beautiful sunset not to much peoples nyaung lat phet view mountain

Very beautiful place to watching the sunset, don’t forget to bring your 5 days archeological ticket, otherwise you can’t go on top of the hill, they scanning the paper at the bottom of the hill.Sunset is very beautiful to watch, the only downsider are, that there’re many sellers around and they will ask you very often to buy something

must visit here but have to get there before 5.30 otherwise so many tourists come here and cant take a good place to take photos

One of the sunrise view point, not the best, but, that is why no other people there, u can enjoy the sunrise in a peace environment.U can climb the temple.

Easy to come but so much tourists and noise. Not the best view to see sunrise.

Decent spot to watch sunrise and sunset though expect lots of tourists and some vendors. Visited in January 2020. Biggest pointer is to make sure it’s a clear the morning or afternoon you visit...it can be hazy in the morning. It’s worth stopping by but I would only do it once.

A small viewpoint to get a feel for how vast the Old Bagan ruins go. Must be really busy here at sunrise and sunset. You can drive your electric motorscooter here.

There are way better spots to watch the sunset/sunrise. It was loaded with tourists, the temple view isnt really special and the balloons fly right over in stead of in front of you which doesnt really fit for the best photos.

Simply a best view to watch than climbing temple dangerously and illegally.

Super location where sun and hot air balloon rises can be observed perfectly. Bit packed and hectic with people at that moment but dead quiet soon afterwards.

One of the best place to see the sunset in Bagan!! Also the tower is amazing

Good view but very crowded, people go as soon as sun sets though so you can enjoy the dusk

See Sun Set View. Go early before very Crowded.

The sunset itself is always beautiful, the problem are the locals that hassle you the ENTIRE time! I was really excited to come here, see the sites and if choose support the locals in purchasing their hard work. I did NOT sign up to be harrassed at every temple and ruin, and hill. The only safe places to be to hold on to a moment is at the hotel. Geesh! The country is getting waaay more tourism! Government is still taking ALL the money and not giving it to their ppl. Not even the police or security. Everyone makes less than $5. So i get they have to do what they can, but ALL THIS is going to prevent ppl from coming.

One of the nice viewing mountain in Bagan

This place is terrible for a view!!! Packed with thouthands of tourists that arrive with busses directly to there. Its much better to walk a couple of minutes to a close location where there around thousands of people fighting for a place to take a picture, and climbing over you for that... View is okay, but there are much better places.

As you cant climb any pagoda anymore, the hill is a nice alternative! Its in the middle of a field, with lots of sandy roads towards it.

Nice place to shoot dawn and sunset and flying ballons!But the place is a little bit of crowded.I dont like too much crowded place since I want nice and clean shoot but it cannot be avoided.But the height of the place and the view is good.So you should go there if youre a photo crazy person ^_^

Is good place to see the sunset, try to get a good place.

Very good place to watch sunset in Bagan.

Great place to take your sunset photo of Bagan. It’s actually a human made small hill. There were a lot of people there and many sales people offering the usual things.You’ll be required to show you Bagan zone ticket.Make sure you bring your zoom lens. You’re not going to get a great shot just using your phone.

Stunning sunset view. Waited for almost an hour. Many tourist on this area.

Expecting a romantic sunrise behind Bagans beautiful pagodas?Dont.Expect dozens of tour buses, at least a hundred bussed in tourists crammed into the elevated space all desperately attempting to capture an instagram worthy selfie almost comically trying to avoid stepping on each others toes.The view itself wasnt particularly spectacular on the morning I visited but I can hardly blame anyone for a poor sunrise.If, like me you find it hard to get up before the sun for any occasion I would advise that perhaps this is not worth the sleep deprivation.Bagan is of course absolutely stunning. So do get up early. Find a quiet Pagoda. Take a selfie or just take in the scenery.Just dont come here if youre looking for serenity.

Just a small hillock kind of a thing with lot of vendors. Good too watch sunset but its not exactly high up there so its not really that great. A Sunset from the Bagan viewing tower is a lot better.

Sunset and sunrise here... many people come here, because currently not allowed to climb the pagoda.

I dont see the attraction in seeing the sunrise/sunset from a barren hill while there are beautiful temples surrounding us. Plus the local sellers walking among the tourists to sell their goods disrupt the serenity that one can enjoy from a sunrise in a historic city.

Its a decent, unintrusive alternative to climbing on the pagodas. Be prepared for lots of salesmen and kids looking to exchange currency. If youre friendly but firm, they wont harass you much. The hill offers an alright view over the nearby pagodas, best if you have a good zoom lens on your camera.

Most tourist come here for sunrise in bagan... very nice to see a balloon...amazingggg😍😍

Not really the best photo spot in Bagan! The first Pagoda are far, so if you want to take stunning pictures, better find another sunset point.Moreover, lots of sellers, quite annoying sometimes.

A place where you can meet almost all guest of Bagan in the same time.

Easy place to reach in Bagan for an amazing sunrise

Vert good sunset place

The view is stunning at sunrise. I recommend going there earlier in order to get a good position for the sunrise. I arrived almost an hour before sunrise but I still cant get a good place to see the sunrise.

Best spot to see sunrise, balloons rising and sunsets! Free of charge. A short hill but tall enough to see the wide landscape. This place is not a lodge as Google categorized. Come early to find best spot, it was very crowded.

Awesome place to view sunrise and sunset. I was there for sunrise. Lovely view along with hot air balloon taking off. Good to come around 6:30 am as the sunrise time was 6:47 am. Rising sun and hot air balloon. Just amazing view and very scenic.

Since we do not allow to watch the sunset on the pagodas this is the one of places to watch the sunset in Bagan...too crowded place.
