Yeah, you know it's alright!
This is a top pick! ... even worth it. The number of responsible tourists seemed to be far outnumbered by these package tourists surprisingly. We arrived in Nyaungshwe around lunch time and spent most of the day relaxing on the hotel terrace and walking around the small town. ...
Inle Lake
This is a top pick! We stayed 2 nights in Aung Mingula guesthouse in Nyaungshwe and did a full day boat trip with Mr. Win and the slightly demented boatman. The boat trip was interesting, very touristy but enjoyable. Again the pics tell the story better than words. During ...
Kalaw to Inle Lake
This is a top pick! ... I had my thermarest sleeping pad with me! Inle Lake The last day of our trek, we took a motorized longboat to Nyaungshwe, a tourist town on Inle Lake. The lake itself is really beautiful, bustling with life. The lake is about 22 ...
A jump to Inle Lake
After my previous post I felt like getting out of Mandalay but if you have problems with stomach and generally don't feel well, a long bus ride doesn’t really feel like a good idea. I was actually planning to take a boat to Bagan, where I would ...
On the Lake
... the next best thing to hitting us on the head with a stick and taking the money from us. The other unfriendly "person" in Myanmar is the government, who also doesn't miss an opportunity to extract as much money as possible from us for as little service ...

Balloon Festival
Taungyi is the hilltop administrative capital of the Shan state and we stopped over for the final night of the annual festival. An 8 year old boy (and Daniel's) dream come true of competitively-launched home-made hot air balloons lifting thousands of ...
Around Nyaungshwe
... to show signs of wear and tear. Even though the watch was still perfectly usable, I decided to get the wristband replaced since Myanmar is a cheap labor country and such repairs can usually be done for a pittance in such countries. So I wandered over to ...
Am Inle See
... Deutschen, unter anderem mit Plakette aus Koelle und allem drum und dran. Es ist immer wieder erstaunlich, was es hier in Myanmar alles gibt, jedem Embargo zum Trotz - einer gruenen Grenze zu China sei Dank. Denjenigen, die man damit vorgeblich treffen ...
Recovering at Inle Lake
We spent three days and four nights at Inle Lake recuperating from our trek through the mountains from Kalaw. The first day and two nights we spent relaxing and getting our bearings in this oasis type town in the middle of the mountains. We ...
Paddling with One Leg, Lake Inle
... for us to use as we walked over to the terminal! Fabulous! It was about an hour in a taxi to Nyaungshwe, along potholed roads awash with rainwater and mud, past skinny cattle herders in soaked longyis escorting their animals through the mist ...
Inle Lake
Am Inle Lake ist es angenehm warm und nicht mehr so drueckend heiss wie in Yangon. Dieser auf 855 Meter ueber Meer gelegene See hat kein Ufer! Dafuer wachsen Tomaten und sonstiges Gemuese auf schwimmenden Inseln im See. Wie fuer Touristen ueblich, haben ...
At Inle Lake
... the lake and especially near pagodas and monasteries you'll find markets of the tribal people of the 7 different ethnic groups here in Myanmar, the Shan, Pa-O, Taung Yo, Danu, Intha, Kayah and Danaw. It's a real mix and physically they are quite ...
Lake Inle
... And here we are on our last bus ride through Myanmar. Happily it was a better bus than others and we could even sleep a bit. We got to the airport without problems and boarded the plane to Bangkok without problems. Bye Myanmar! I hope we will be ...
Inle Lake Paradise
It's hard to believe I'm on my fourth day in Nyaungshwe. It's become my favorite place so far in Myanmar, mostly because of the amazing diversity of sights. I spent the entire day yesterday on Inle Lake, moving from place to place as the sole ...
Puppets on a string..
... , luostareita ynm. joten aikaahan taalla saisi kulumaan kuukausitolkulla.. Jo tutuksi tulleen rauniospottailun lisaksi Nyaungshwe tarjosi myos eksootisempaa viihdetta. Youq-the pwe tarkoittaa traditionaalista Burmalaista marionettiteatteria. Saattiin ...
Inle Lake...Again
Just a quick wrap-up on my second visit to Nyaungshwe. For the most part, Karen and I were unrelentingly lazy. Once she had recovered her appetite, we spent a fair amount of time at the Golden Kite, sampling their pizzas (try the bolognese, you'll love ...
the final star trekking
... region and country. most importantly, he speaks english very well and it is easily understood. approximately 90% of the population in myanmar are farmers. they may be poor and have to work hard, but supposedly there is not much poverty here, as in ...
Lac Inlé
7h de bus plus tard nous arrivons au mythique Lac Inlé. Nous logeons à Nyaungshwe, village à quelques kilomètres du lac, tous les logements sur le lac même étant de grands et luxueux resorts (ayant l'air bien confortables...!). Un jour en ...
Inle Lake - nice but a bit overrated
... of all the trekking. Taking the night bus from Bago I arrived at 2.30am in Kalaw (I am not sure why all night buses in Myanmar are so poorly timed, arriving always in the middle of the night). Fortunately some want-to-be trekking guides helped me and the ...
Beautiful Shan Province Countryside
... more, really, to tell after that. We just went for a really nice, peaceful walk, around the nice, small town of Nyaungshwe and watched the village people do their daily things. Tomorrow we're doing a boat ride around Inle lake, which should be ...
Luigi the Burmese
... hoops. I don't know why, but does it really matter? What will really stick in my mind, though, is one restaurant in Nyaungshwe - The Golden Kite. An Italian place, I think it was the best food I had in Myanmar (I wasn't overly impressed with ...
Fire on the Mountain
Nyuangshwe The night bus from Mandalay to Nyuangshwe was really a half-a-night bus. We left Mandalay at 7pm, had a breakdown of some sort in the night (I actually dozed off so I don't know what happened) and waited around for 2 hours in the hills, then ...
On the shores of Inle Lake
My stay in Nyaung Schwe was in the Teakwood Guest House, in, what lovingly became known as The Cave (and not just because a Neanderthal lived in it). With the one window of the room receiving no outside light at all, the room was permanently shroud in ...
Le lac Inle
Avec Uli nous voici arrivés dans la ville la plus touristique de Birmanie. Quelques touristes à gauche à droite mais rien à voir avec la Thaïlande, la ville reste toujours authentique, ouf. Nous avons réservé un bateau pour visiter le lac et ses ...
Shan Paper / Umbrella workshop Drive - Nyaung Shwe
Ten Green Haven Hotel staff came out, lined up and if on cue all waved at once to say "goodbye" to the 16 of us. Must have been all of the staff! It was a short 2 hour drive down to a warmer 889m above sea level and our next stop of Nyaung Shwe and the ...
Inle Lake
... traveler, Charlotte. We decided to share a cab to Nyangshwe, about an hour away. We had roughly the same travel plans in Myanmar so I ended up traveling with her through the rest of my trip. After we got settled we walked around the town and took in ...

Inle Lake
With my last day in Myanmar, I decided to visit Inle Lake via the nearby village of Nyaungshwe. Inle Lake and NS are full of outdoor activities - hiking, biking, and boating on the lake. However, I finally got a bad weather day - very overcast ...
