Destination

INLE LAKE

Inle Lake is the most famous scenic spot in the Shan State. It is the second largest lake in Myanmar. 22 km long, roughly 11 km wide, 875m above sea level and outrageously beautiful. It has very calm waters dotted with patch of floating vegetation and busy fishing canoes. Inlay Lake is the residence of the Intha People; one of the Shan hill tribes who can be found in this area, the famous "Leg Rowers". They are well-known for their rowing skills in having one leg locked along the handle of the paddle, the other just standing on the stern of the boat while keeping a perfect balance.

 

 

NYAUNG SHWE


NyaungShwe is a small town at the north end of Inle Lake.
One can take a walk to nearby villages and countryside and find the ruins of the old monasteries. This is also the starting point of the trip into the Inle Lake.

 

 



KHAUNG DAING

Khaung Daing is the native village on the northwestern shore of the lake. It is known for its production of soybean cakes and noodles. There are some interesting Shan Buddhist monuments just outside the village. A little north of Khaung Daing is a hot spring where you can take a bath.

Famous places on Inle Lake are:

YWAMA VILLAGE

The largest village on the lake with beautiful houses built on large wooden poles driven into the Lake Bed. You can see the famed floating market according to the local five day market scheme. On market day it is a traffic jam of tourist boats and souvenir hawkers with a few local buyers.

 

PHAUNG DAW OO PAGODA

The holiest religious site for Buddhists in the southern area of the Shan State. Five images are enshrined in the center of the building, one that attracts the Buddhists and the non-Buddhists alike. As a result of over gilding with Gold leaf offerings, the images have turned into solid ball of gold.

 

 

 

JUMPING CAT MONASTERY

A wooden monastery on stilts over the lake, built four years before Mandalay Palace. The monks trained their cats to leap through small hoops. It is worth to visit for modest collection of Buddha images in Shan, Tibetan, Bagan and Inwa styles.
