Bupaya Pagoda

Bupaya Pagoda is Bagan’s compact gilded riverside stupa beside the Ayeyawady River. Its rounded form and waterside position make it a distinct stop from the larger brick temples inland.

Bupaya Pagoda

Why go

The rounded form and direct river setting make Bupaya a different stop from the large brick temples inland. A government tourism report names it among Bagan’s attraction sites, while independent mapping fixes its position on the riverbank. Go for the architecture and waterside setting; verify the approach and visitor rules locally.

What to look for

  • See the gourd-shaped stupa beside the river.
  • Use the riverfront setting to read Bagan’s geography.

Useful to know

  • Confirm current site and riverfront access before travel.
  • Allow roughly 30–45 minutes for the compact site.
