Kalaw-Nyaung Shwe-Inle Lake

-

The route Kalaw-Nyaung Shwe-Inle Lake is a good arrangement for 3-5 days trips. It only takes 2 hours to drive from Kalaw to Nyaung Shwe, the nearest town to Inle Lake. When you reach Nyaung Shwe, you must take a boat to wander in the lake. 

You can stay at Inle hotels overnight to feel the real Inle life. Alternatively, if you are uncomfortable sleeping on the water, you can stay in Nyaung Shwe and explore the lake only during the daytime.

The reasons why Inle Lake is popular are two main cultures that are slightly different from others. One is Stilt Houses and the other is the style of rowing.

Several ethnic tribes of Myanmar have resided in the lake for a long history. They do float farming and fishing. Traditional cotton weaving and silversmiths also can be found. The quality of Inle cotton wear is highly recommended.

The residents use boats for local transportation, and the traditional rowing style uses legs.

The food is slightly more expensive than other parts, but worth trying their unique and delicious cooking style.

Why Should We Travel?

Many pessimists judge that travelling wastes money.  In our country, elderly people used to go on pilgrimage because it can avoid others' criticism.  For me, the definition of travel is just self-love giving myself freedom and cheerfulness. When I worked in Singapore, I got a reasonable salary but I had only left a little money after managing my income; some was transferred to family abroad, some was saved in a Bank in my country, some for room rental, phone bill, taxes and insurance.   Feeling exhausted and stressed, I frequently think of quitting my job after working hard continuously, but, my mind refreshes again when I see my salary at the end of the month. Nevertheless, it is a very short time because, as I said above, only a very little money for personal expenditures is left in my bank account.  It's like meditation counting on come in, come out. I think, "What a pity! What a thrifty life! However high my salary is, I still cannot expend as I wish." But sometim
