5 Most Underrated Travel Destinations in Asia

3. Bagan, Myanmar

IM Score: 2.48

Myanmar, formerly Burma, is an extremely underrated tourist destination, primarily due to its gruesome history. The country is still classified at level 4 (i.e. do not travel) of the US travel advisory. However, the city of Bagan is generally considered safe among travelers and is worth a visit for adventure seekers. This tourist destination is home to some of the most jaw-dropping range of temples and pagodas found on the planet. The city houses over 1000 ancient temples, constructed while this city was the capital of the Pagan kingdom. Tourists can witness the 1500-year evolution of this historic city from the panoramic views of a hot air balloon. Much like the rest of Myanmar, Bagan is an untouched jewel, even among the most underrated travel destinations in Asia.
