INLE LAKE

This lake extends 22 kilometers and is very shallow. The lake has hills on both the sides. They also have a market where hill tribes come to sell their produce.

You will be able to see small scale industry including silversmiths and blacksmiths, lotus cloth weavers, cheerut makers (local cigarette) and handmade paper industry.

The ‘HpaungDaw U Pagodap’ at Inle is special with a story of 5 stone Buddhas and the belief which will be explained by the guide.

There are stilt-house villages, floating vegetable gardens and markets, and the famous “leg-rowers”, who wrap one leg around the paddle, leaving their hands free to cast their nets.
