yes. today Bulethi and all are not allowed to climb. They may open soon.I hope.

Hello, The cultural ministry did announce that which brought howls of protest from local tourist operators so the edict was abolished. Personally I think it is disrespectful yet admit to climbing monuments in Bagan because it was the accepted thing to do. It is plain dangerous with silly pushy tourists and its only a matter of time before a stampede causes deaths. Check daily on line as there is no one in charge in Myanmar and Government officials are capricious.
