Once you’ve chosen to spend the rest of your life with that special

Sunrises are inherently romantic, but those in Bagan are truly surreal. The capital of the Kingdom of Pagan between the 9th and 13th centuries, Bagan was once blessed with 10,000 Buddhist monasteries, temples and pagodas. Today, the plain around Bagan is still dotted with more than 2000 of them. Climb to the top of one together (Lawkaoushaung is a great choice) and watch the rising sun turn the dark landscape into a vivid golden canvas eloquently brushed with silhouettes. It’s an incredible sight to witness, and it’s a perfect time to pop the question. If she loves the great outdoors, isn’t scared of heights and is willing to walk to the edge of the world with you, she’ll certainly overlook the fact you dropped to one knee on something called ‘The Troll’s Tongue’. The most epic of natural settings, Trolltunga is a dramatic sliver of rock that extends precipitously over a 700m abyss and overlooks the lake of Ringedalsvatnet far below. Come well prepared as this is a remote mountain environment: the return hike from the trail-head takes eight to 10 hours.
