Leg-rowing fishing boats, blue crystal water merging with deep blue sky, quaint workshops and floating gardens, you are at the Inle Lake of Myanmar. Every tourist wishes for a boat trip on this beautiful lake and what they see always exceeds imagination. Despite the weather in other areas, the Lake is mostly quite pleasant for hanging around. Official data mentions that the lake is about 116 - 120sq km, yet it hardly defines the lake’s boundary due to the high water level and thick aquatic plants growing around the shore. A boat trip here is a great leisure to the souls and eyes, beside unique leg-rowing boats, you will be surprised by lively colors – blue, pink, green, purple - the lakemen use to paint their houses and boats. Chatting with the locals at their weekly markets, pagodas or workshops of silk, cigarettes, blacksmithware and silverware is such a pleasure, when they openly tell you about their lives and the traditional way of fishing or planting vegetables without chemicals. To the Southwest of Inle, you will arrive at Indein, a great hub of hill trekking. Should you feel that traveling is all about living next to the locals and see their living, trekking from Indein to Kalaw or back will be the most excellent way. Many families living in Indein, Kalaw and Nyaungshwe have become brilliant trekking guides, along with whom you will have a rare chance to spend several days in rural villages with local people, visiting their very ancient monastery in the forest, or admiring their gardens and textile hamlets. More than a lake for sightseeing, Inle Lake and the surrounding are such a little world, where you can enjoy the real life of Myanmar people. As a result, more and more tourists are rushing over this place for a trek before taking the popular boat trips.
