Inle Lake to Bagan Destination Reviews

GF
Too cold and too fast (2h30min be for scheduled arriving!) for a bustrip!

Seats are quite comfortable. Feet can be put up. Board crew very nice, English skills not very pronounced. It is freezing cold in the bus. Not changeable even after requests. I had 2 pants and 2 jackets on, a blanket and a big scarf! The worst was the bus driver, with whom I had the pleasure 2x. He coughs and pulls up and spits all the time. Terrible. Sleep impossible.

Bumpy ride but seats are comfy. Served a hot meal at first stop. Arrived an hour ahead of schedule but lots of taxis at terminal in Bagan throughout the night so no problem getting to hotel.

Bus seem to arrive too early in the morning at 3 am instead of the approximate 5.30am schedule. We were stuck at the bus station with taxi cahoots that maintain their steep prices. All these is really giving Myanmar tourist industry a bad image. Arriving too early too we were not able to check in early without paying extra cost.

Because subtracted to another company and less good than the reserved one. Arrival on Bagan with 1 hour of advance !!! A real driver, considering the rain and the road ! Better than the fair of the throne
