Inle Lake in Southern Shan State is a vast natural lake surrounded by traditional Shan villages. The Intha people have been living on the lake for many centuries in villages built entirely on stilts in the water. Today we will take you by private motorboat around the lake to discover the natural beauty of the area, visit the floating gardens, see some of the famous leg rowers and have some traditional tea at a local family's house. On and around the lake, traditional markets are held in different villages according to a 5-day rotating schedule and today we will take you to visit a colorful market frequented by Shan and PaO people living nearby. We will then visit a local cheroot factory (where the Burmese cigars are made), floating tomato gardens, the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda and the Intha Heritage house where Burmese cats are bred. If time and desire permit, we will also visit a weaving factory.
