Inle Lake, Shan State

Burma Tours - Phaungdaw U Pagoda, Inle Lake

Enjoy a leisurely trip on Inle Lake by longtail boat to explore some of the floating gardens and to catch a glimpse of the local Intha fishermen famous for their one-legged rowing technique.  Along the way, you will also stop off to visit the Phaungdaw U Pagoda, the holiest religious site in southern Shan State, and the old Nga Phe Monastery which has a beautiful collection of antique Buddha statues, but is more perhaps more famous for its unique 'jumping cats' that jump through hoops in the air!  Then witness the production of traditional Intha Silks at the weaving village of Inpawkhone and of Burmese cigars in the cheroot factory, where these typical cigars are still made by hand.
