• Nyaungshwe - Begin your day with a 07:30 pick-up from your hotel in Nyaung Shwe and proceed to the jetty. Discover one of the Five Day Markets (only on market days). These markets offer a glimpse into the lives of the ethnic Pa-O, Danu, and Intha communities who gather to trade their goods. Delight in a full-day boat excursion on Inle Lake – a paradise for photographers with its serene waters adorned with floating vegetation and fishing canoes, all set against a backdrop of picturesque high hills. Witness the lake’s distinctive leg rowers – the Intha people who row while standing, using one leg wrapped around an oar.

Pass by endless floating gardens where fruits and vegetables are cultivated. Continue your journey by boat to Nga Phe Kyaung Monastery, one of the oldest on the lake, and admire ancient Buddha statues over 200 years old. Visit Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda, the most sacred religious site in southern Shan State. Then, head to Inn Paw Khone village to observe a silk & lotus weaving workshop, a blacksmith workshop, and a cheroot (Burmese cigar) workshop. Enjoy lunch at a local Myanmar restaurant.

In the afternoon, embark on another boat tour to the western shore of Inle Lake, where a stair path leads to the secluded Indein pagoda complex. The boat ride through a long channel offers views of farmers tending to their crops, making it one of the most scenic tours on Lake Inle. Conclude your day with a return boat trip to your hotel.
