An exciting morning for day 2 of the Yangon to Inle Lake Tour in 4 Days awaits as you board a flight to Heho.
From Heho, a one-hour journey (32km) takes you to Nyaung Shwe, the gateway to the Inle Lake Boat Tour. Here, the real Myanmar adventure holidays begin as you hop aboard a motorboat to explore one of Myanmar's most spellbinding destinations. As you gaze upon the serene waters, you'll notice the gentle movement of the floating plants and fishing canoes. The stunning backdrop of the towering mountain provides a breathtaking view.
Take a moment to observe the daily routines of the skilled local fisherman, who uses a unique leg-rowing technique to navigate the waters. You'll also see their floating gardens, crafted from water hyacinth, dirt, and bamboo poles, anchored to the lakebed. It's a truly remarkable Myanmar holiday experience!
Your Inle Lake Day Tour continues to Nga Hpe Chaung Monastery, home to a collection of ancient Shan Buddha Figures. In the past, it was famous for its "jumping cats," but these days, few felines roam and no jumping now. Finally, you will pay homage to Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda, where five sacred Buddha images shimmer beneath layers of gold leaf.
Inle Lake is renowned for its unique crafts, and you'll have the chance to witness artisans at work. Depending on the season, you might observe the creation of woven lotus silk, boat building, blacksmithing, silversmithing, or even visit a cigar-making workshop. Here, you can buy some traditional Burmese souvenirs to take home as a gift for family and friends.
Then, return to your hotel and savor the memories of day 2.
