NYU is the airport code for Nyaung-U, the airport that serves Bagan, one of the world's great archaeological sites, on the plains beside the Ayeyarwady River in central Myanmar. Bagan is famous for its landscape of more than two thousand surviving Buddhist temples and pagodas, spread across a wide plain and often seen at dawn from hot-air balloons, the legacy of a powerful medieval kingdom. Travelers should be aware, however, that Myanmar carries serious travel advisories following political turmoil, and the security situation can change quickly, so it is important to check your government's current guidance and rely on trusted local advice before any trip. The Bagan area is reached by domestic flights to Nyaung-U from Yangon and Mandalay, and by river and road. The climate is hot and dry, with the coolest, most comfortable months from around November to February.
