Famous for being the largest lake in Shan Highlands and 2nd largest natural lake in Myanmar, Inle Lake is always on the top list of must-visit destinations of any Myanmar journey. Inle Lake is tucked away between two verdant mountain ranges and is home to plenty of stilt villages and floating gardens. Whenever referring to this enormous and charming lake, one thing immediately springs to everyone's mind - the image of a local fisherman who rows in 'one-legged' style.
Shwe Yaunghwe Kyaung Pagoda is one of the most popular holy places that should be included in your top things to see in Myanmar. This photographed monastery is situated just around 30 minutes walk from Nyaungshwe and consists of two buildings - one is where the monks sleep and eat and the other one is main congregation hall, both of them made completely out of wood.
Renowned as the most revered monastery in the Inle Lake in particular and in Shan State in general, Hpaung Daw U Pagoda offers travellers a memorable experience when exploring this special place. With its Burmese architectural style and 5 small ancient Buddha images covering in gold leaf, this pagoda has been the most important symbol of the religion of Inle Lake.
Famous for a village having the highly skilled textile artisans, Inpawkhon Village is a place any foreigner would love to visit to witness the process of making silk from the rarest fabrics in the world – the lotus flowers which grow in Inle Lake. Spending your time to learn how to make them by observing silk weaving, dyeing with extracting thread from lotus stems.
The short trip to explore Se-Khong Village which is known as the blacksmith workshop village situated in the middle of Inle Lake will offer you a closer look at how locals produce knives and farming tools, that are sold at the 5-day rotating market. Even you know nothing about a blacksmith, it is a great opportunity to gain an insight into the local's daily lives.
One of the best local experiences in Inle Lake is taking a boat trip to visit Indein Village which attracts a great number of travellers for its culture and groups of ancient pagodas in many shapes and sizes and well-preserved. The 1st place you shouldn’t miss in Indein Village is Nyaung Ohak which translates to “group of banyan trees” and Shwe Inn Thein Pagodas on top of a hill where has a special collection of Buddhist stupas.
The reason behind the name Five-Day Market is not fixed in one place, it will be rotated between different villages in Inle Lake over five days.
