This is a top pick! ... they say in all of these countries is "What country you from?" which is a prelude to immediately trying to sell you something. In Myanmar the standards are to flatter you, "Oh, you bew-tee-full!" or the most curious is "LUCKY MONEY! LUCKY MONEY!" It ...

Shaken and Stirred
This is a top pick! ... The imploringly polite ladies of the Seven Sisters restaurant organized a car for the rest of our journey to our guesthouse on Inle Lake for five dollars less than we'd initially thought. Simon, our driver in impeccable English alerted us to points of ...
Trekking...or not, + some much-needed fresh pasta
This is a top pick! Kalaw: beautiful mountain setting, small town with a great Nepalese restaurant! Inle: gorgeous lake surrounded by hills and with the best fresh pasta this side of...somewhere else with good fresh pasta. More later on these places, stay ...

This is a top pick! ... canal was chilly but exhilirating. Our first stop on the lake was the infamous Ywama floating market ("floating" is a key word around Inle Lake... everything floats). On the way we passed some of the local "leg-rower" fishermen, who propel their boats ...
Take it Easy at Inle Lake
This is a top pick! ... 15 minutes before we got out of the storm and into town, dripping wet. It'd been a superb day. The rest of my time at Inle Lake was pretty lazy, taking it easy, and playing a lot of cribbage with Shane and David. I'd planned it this way in order to ...
Bustling community in a truly tranquil setting
This is a top pick! ... around the middle of the lake. Everywhere we went there were signs of activity and commerce, confirming the theme that Myanmar has a vibrant localised economy wherever you go, in spite of the national government that does little to help the community or ...
Yeah, you know it's alright!
This is a top pick! ... well. As expected, there were more facilities for tourists, but this didn't seem to distract from the atmosphere. Initially my expectations of Inle Lake were quite low, as they tend to be when everyone talks up a place, but once we hit the serene, placid ...
Monsoons, Monks and Monasteries a very special day
This is a top pick! ... wooden hut and a few short breaks and it was one of the most memorable and favourite days of our whole trip in Myanmar. The trekking was fantastic, even better than Sapa. What made the day so perfect though was the incredible people. Operating with ...
The Jumping Cats
This is a top pick! ... I put my gold leaf on, and then we went back down. It looks awesome in the books, but it was not the best thing I have seen in Myanmar, or my life, but it was another notch in my Lonely Planet and my nipple also managed to survive the trip back ...
A lakes, a hike and a city
This is a top pick! The next destination was Inle Lake, which was an 18 hour bus ride on a fairly bumpy road. Conveniently, the bus arrived at our destihnation at 5am. The lake itself was very beautiful & I spent a few days boating around the lake visiting a floating ...
The Lake that never was
This is a top pick! Inle Lake, Myanmar - Ah man, I won't go into detail, but the bus ride from Mandalay was hell. I managed to keep down my dinner right until an hour before we arrived at the small town of Nyaung Shwe which is very close to Inle Lake itself. The ...
Jumping cats and water lilies

A week in Inle Lake
Our journey to Inle Lake was almost as eventful as our week long stay there (perhaps a slight exaggeration but it was fun anyway). At 5am, in Bagan in the dark, we were picked up in this rickety old bus dating from the 60's/70's, covered in Japanese ...
Relax
Today was sleep in and relax day. So we got up at 7. I finally am cured of my runs - although it took a while, it was very manageable. I joined in for the usual good breakfast of juice, tea, toast, eggs and fruit. Then I spent an hour on the internet- an ...
A Long Boat, A Long Lake, A Long Ride

Unique massage experience in Inle

Lake Inle
Lake Inle - The final part of Myanmar trip was to Lake Inle. The lake is 22km long and 11km wide, and the reason to come here was to see how the people live around the lake. The whole lake is surrounded by stilt villages, with the people ...

Hill trekking
We hired a guide to take us on a 20km hike into the hills that surrounded Inle Lake. Our guide was delightful young man named Wana. We quickly left the town and came to our first stop – a small sugar cane mill. Here they were boiling up sugar cane ...
