Create an itinerary including Htilominlo Pahto

Marking a spot where its founder was chosen to be the successor of the Pagan dynasty throne, Htilominlo Pahto attracts visitors with its lavish stucco decoration. King Htilominlo--who was more interested in practicing Buddhism and studies than in leading the country--built this 46 m (150 ft) tall red-brick temple at the beginning of the 13th century. Notice the elaborate exterior carvings that depict mythological female monsters and hybrid creatures. The interior retains some faded frescos and four gilded statues of the Buddha. The temple is surrounded by souvenir stalls. Make your Bagan itinerary with Klarna Trips to find out what to see and where to go.

This very large, imposing temple (over 46 meters tall), composed of terraces and elaborate plaster and brick, is worth a visit for the architecture and for the solid sense of presence that it...

Htilominlo Pahto was built by King Nataungmyar, the son of King Narapatisithu. the meaning of "Hti" is "Umbrella", "Min" is "King" and "Lo" is "need". This temple has finest 13th century architecture.... more

We visited this very early morning. But seems they're was some special occasion and it was super crowded. So had to avoid.

Big temple, free entrance ticket, good to spend time here, but we can't climb to temple to see sunset and sunrise anymore!

Cool temple, one of the larger ones in Bagan, also near a bunch of smaller temples which are easy to stop off at on your way. Unfortunately this was one of the temples badly damaged in the 2016 earthquake, but restoration is underway to bring it back to the way it was before. This is definitely one of the top 10 temples you should visit if you're in Bagan

Htilo Minlo was one of the names of the king who built this eponymous temple in the thirteenth century. The architecture of the building is similar to the one found in several other temples in Bagan. The outside is built with red bricks and decorated with plaster moldings. The perspectives of several narrow hallways inside is what I liked most about Htilominlo. Several alcoves house a host of statues of various sizes. In the courtyard of the temple, there are a multitude of vendors selling their wares without aggressiveness. Htilominlo is a worthy addition to the list of temples that you will visit during your stay in this most fascinating part of Myanmar.

We had a great time participating Bagan Temple Marathon @ Bagan. First time visited Bagan and visited most of the Temples during marathon. There are around 500 people participate this events. I wish I can participate next year events. Check out the photos. :)

The pagoda & Buddha rupa is majestic but still nice and simple, the surrounding market offers clothing, jewellery, bags, & souvenirs of various kinds, just needs a coffe stall.
