This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies. Editors have highlighted the following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility:. From a gently rocking boat, Nyunt Win tends a floating tomato crop in the cool water of Myanmar's famed Inle Lake, nestled in the Shan Hills and once the country's most popular tourist spot. The floating farms have become as ubiquitous at the UNESCO-recognized reserve as its famed houses on stilts and leg-rowing fishermen, but locals warn that the plantations are slowly choking the lake. The ever-expanding farms are eating up surface area , sending chemical runoff into the waters, and clogging the picturesque site with discarded plant matter , opponents say. But aquaculture comes at a cost to the lake. The farms must be anchored in place and the produce shielded from the sun—mainly by invasive water hyacinths. The weed grows rampantly on the surface of Inle, depleting oxygen levels by blotting out light for other plants, so it makes for a free and abundant building block for plantations. Out on the lake, Si Thu Win heaves mounds of water hyacinths and other aquatic plants from the water to shore up and protect his plants. Between and , the portion of Inle covered by floating farms increased by percent, according to a report from Myanmar's government. The farms do not last forever and when they begin to rot, farmers cut them loose and build new ones, leaving rotting mounds of foliage to clog up the lakeshore. Floating farms are 'ruining' the lake, an official from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation told AFP, requesting anonymity. Local authorities have tried to corral the drifting refuse into designated areas, but they do not have the resources to manage, he said. Farmers like Nyunt Win deny they are strangling the lake. They say the bigger problem is that decades of slash-and-burn agriculture on the surrounding hillsides have caused soil to wash into the streams that feed Inle, slowly filling it in. Now, during the summer months he can 'pick up handfuls of soil' from his boat, he said. The farm boom has pitted tomato cultivators against the fishermen who ply the lake, with year-old Nay Tun Oo alleging that chemical runoff from the crops pollutes the water. A UN report found 'considerable overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides' on floating farms, polluting the lake and damaging the surrounding ecosystem. A new conservation law for Inle was proposed by the regional parliament in but has not progressed beyond a draft stage. Businesses around the lake also worry that its shrinking surface and environmental degradation will drive tourists away. Inle was once a major tourist destination, drawing around , foreigners and a million locals a year before the COVID pandemic dented travel. But there has been no recovery thanks to a military coup in and clashes between the junta and its opponents across swathes of the country. Inle Lake lies in the southern part of Shan state, the far north of which has seen fierce fighting over the past two weeks between junta forces and ethnic armed groups. Some of his metalsmiths are now learning other languages so they can go abroad for work, he said, while others are now working as carpenters. More from Earth Sciences.

FISHERMEN AT SUNSET Inle Lake Intha Myanmar Burma Online

Buy ganja online in Inle Lake

March , We could have taken a bus to Nyaung Shwe, the closest town to Inle Lake — about fifteen hours or more on an ancient bus over winding, pot-holed, decrepit roads. Or we could have taken a bus to Thazi, over similar roads, and then a train through spectacular scenery to Shwenyaung, and then a taxi to Nyaung Shwe. The trains are also ancient and decrepit, and narrow gauge so they rock from side to side and back and forth like a bucking elephant. And since there is no air-conditioning all the windows are open and all things blow in, dead or alive. Or we could have taken the boat back to Mandalay, then a train to Thazi, overnight in Thazi in one of two suspect guesthouses, then a train to Shwenyaung and finally a taxi to Nyaung Shwe. We like to travel but we are not masochists. Instead we chose to risk flying on one of Asian Wings elderly, but certainly not decrepit, turbo-props. From Don: So now I know why we had to be at the airport so early: as soon as all the passengers had checked in we were directed into the departure lounge and then soon after that we were on a bus heading out to the plane that had arrived five minutes earlier. We arrived at Heho, had our passports checked, collected our bags, found our driver and were on our way to Nyaung Shwe five minutes before our flight was due to arrive. Alison again: We drove through spectacular mountain scenery to arrive one hour later in Nyaung Shwe, and transferred to a long-tail boat for a one hour ride first down a canal, and then Inle Lake itself, to our hotel in the middle of the lake. By this late date the only room we could find available for that one night was at a five star resort in the middle of the lake. How tragic. The hotel met all our wildest dreams and more. It was literally in the lake. There was a central reception and restaurant area, with long walkways branching out on either side. Off the walkways were luxury cabins, each with its own private deck and lake view. Decorative detail, hotel entrance We watched the sunset from the comfortable chairs on the deck. Or was it sunrise? I was too busy luxuriating. Even though we were packed and ready to go about an hour before we needed to, and even though there were hotel staff waiting outside to clean the room, we sat on the deck luxuriating and enjoying the view right up until checkout time. When we arrived at the end of the canal from Nyaung Shwe where the water opened up into the lake itself we saw them — men standing in the stern of their boats with one leg wrapped around a single oar moving it steadily back and forth in an easy rhythmic practiced motion. We were immediately captivated. The blue lake, the blue vista, the small wooden boats with huge basket nets, the rowers standing tall, leg and oar moving as one unit. Don, being less gullible than I am suggested they were greeters for the tourists. And he was right. We passed this opening into the lake four times over the course of three days and they were always there, however we also covered a lot of ground so to speak in our fairly extensive travels up and down the lake and frequently saw the genuine fishermen of Inle Lake, rowing with their legs. Theories as to why this method of rowing evolved range from it providing both hands free for handling the fishing nets, to needing to stand to be able to see the reeds and weeds in the water ahead. What a sight. We saw so many of them and it never got old. The other main form of transportation on the lake is long wooden boats with un-muffled, deafening, soul-shattering engines, and a long-tail propeller. Speedy and fun. Hang on to your hat! In this case both my hats — very early morning cold. Photo from Don I got to see the leg rowers race! Talk about lucky! Our first afternoon. Don is napping. I hear drumming. I follow the sound, down the walkway from our cabin, over a small wooden bridge to the building next door, and there they are — two drummers on the deck of this big building facing out to the water drumming as several boats full of people arrive. I catch this shot of one of the drummers during a break. Then the two racing boats arrive each with sixteen men. The racing boats are very different from the fishing boats. They are long and straight and have a bar along the centre for the rowers to hold on to. There are festivals of races on Inle Lake, but not at the time we were there. Suddenly there it was, there I was, in the right place at the right time. Well they certainly are stumpy and lumpy. They are stumpy lumpy piles of gold, in a splendiferous setting complete with whirling and flashing lights and beautiful altar offerings. Along one side, as part of the offerings we saw three or four carved watermelons, one of an elephant, one of a lion the mythical chinthe or leogryph and one of a hintha bird the same mythical bird used as the design for the royal barge and copied for Karaweik Palace in Yangon. On entering the pagoda we had to pay kyats about sixty cents each to the door keepers to be allowed to take photographs. The barges, again, are copies of the royal barge, based on the revered hintha bird. Now that would be a sight to see. However we did see the gilded parts of the bird that are attached to the barge. And a second housed in a very large boat shed. The barges must be enormous. They are self-sufficient farmers, devout Buddhists and live simple lives in houses of wood and woven bamboo. Villages are in the lake itself, on the shores of the lake, and on the shores of the many canals that run out from the lake. Some people are occupied in making the wooden boats everyone uses. We visited a home where boats are made but I only took photos of the little kids playing under the house, and the bigger kids playing soccer football — the Burmese are completely wild about football! Quite a few women are also employed in the hand-made cheroot industry that Burma is famous for. We visited a factory. There were about a dozen women sitting cross-legged on the floor, their tray of supplies in front of them, their hands flying with the grace and precision that comes from years of practice, rolling a perfect cheroot every time, then tying them into bundles of one hundred. Apparently they make about one hundred every hour, eight hundred in an eight hour shift. They are commonly smoked by both men and women. Streets of houses in the water Cheeky kid mugging for the camera An enduring image from somewhere in Burma, possibly Mandalay or Yangon, but really it could have been anywhere in Southeast Asia: A man riding a motorbike. A woman sitting side-saddle on the back. On her lap is breakfast in a plastic bag. No plate, or container, just the plastic bag. She is eating with chopsticks as the bike weaves through the traffic. There are five weekly markets rotating around the villages of Inle Lake. In the next post — a visit to two of them and the truly astonishing floating crop gardens. All words and images by Alison Louise Armstrong unless otherwise noted. Oh my gosh, another fantastic virtual tour with vivid photographs guiding the way! The inviting smiles, the blue canopied sky, the vying seagulls, the racing boats… As an intentional minimalist, the hotel in the lake especially resonated with me. Like Like. Thank you Laurie. The landscape was so beautiful, and the Burmese people so friendly. A really magical place. However the hotel was not that minimalist in that each cabin had full western style bathrooms, electricity of course, I think even wifi. So interesting, especially the leg boat rowers. So beautiful to see how humans adapt to the conditions they live in. Love the sweet faces! It feels like a benediction, a grace, to be continually exposed to it. That, and the landscape, and the sweet faces. Alison and Don, Your photos continue to astound me. I particularly like all the great fishing experiences you captured. Thanks so much for your kind wordsTerri. Sometimes the photos work out. Thank goodness! And I had great subject matter with the lake and the leg rowers. Captivating narrative and photos of this wonderful place; rowing with the legs is intriguing! Thank you Angeline. Loved that cheeky kid — what a little imp he was. One legged races, carved watermelons, and lumpy Buddhas… fun blog. And peggy had the same airplane experience in Kodiak, Alaska a few months ago. As soon as everyone arrived, off the plane flew. Thanks Curt. Alison and Don, this post leaves me spellbound — not just from the photos but also the lovely descriptions. Your storytelling is so detailed and full of excitement, I felt like I was there listening to it firsthand, over a home-cooked meal. And the portraits of the two door keepers at Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda — their expressions of pure joy and warmth had me totally entranced. Hi James. Thank you so much for your kind words. Our original plan was to go last Dec after India but all the mid range hotels were booked so we switched to March. Thank you for following. I hope you continue to enjoy the ongoing saga. Have a great time in Myanmar! Thanks in turn for the advice, Alison. And that was for January and February! Was it much of a problem while you were there? We were there about Feb 20 to Mar Hotels: May Shan in Yangon — pretty down home and plain, but clean enough and had all we needed. Smart Hotel in Mandalay, a little smarter than the one in Yangon :. From the Shwe Inn Tha we hired a boat to go to stumpy buddha pagoda, and boat and cheroot making places in the afternoon, also saw the rowers race. Next morning hired a boat to go to early morning market will be covered in next post , and then a boat to take us to Nyaung Shwe via floating crop gardens also in next post. Totally worth all the extra cost for the experience of staying in a hotel in the lake. We had 3 full days in each location Mandalay as well plus travel days. Strangely, my father went about 10 years ago and he felt the exact opposite… Mandalay to him was more charming than Yangon which he found too spread out. The activity at the river there has to be seen to be believed, and the boat ride down to Bagan was fabulous. I think we maybe even liked it a little better than Yangon, but Shwedagon is not to be missed. Alison, this is my favourite travel blog out of all the ones I have read around the web. Thanks again for sharing. I just found this in my spam file sometimes WP just gets things mixed up. Thank you so much. What a marvelous excursion and hotel. The photo of your, burrr and all, is lovely. Lovely post. Thanks Paulette. The hotel was a dream. Alison, these are fantastic photos that bring back many happy memories for me. Inle Lake was a magical place. Your photos are vignettes of Burmese culture. What a joy it is to travel with you! Yes, Inle is very special. Hi Alison. The photo of the sun is beautiful. The five star hotel looks marvelous. Those men are talented with their rowing! Thanks Pam. That 5 star hotel was heaven, and the whole experience of Inle Lake magical and other-worldly. So glad we went. Yeah, strong balance and strong cores must be a big part of it. They all seemed so skilled, having been doing it since childhood. My heart fluttered when I saw the beautiful 5 star resort on stilts. Just breathtaking! The leg rowers are so unusual, but so beautiful all at once. What a catch to experience the race?!? How amazing to have been there for that. How amazing to have captured the beloved Hello Kitty underwear?!? LOL What great shots, as per usual. The Pagoda on the lake is just mesmerizing. Your Bagan post absolutely did that to me, and this one has as well. Streets of water and houses on stilts is just so exotic, and so beautiful. What a memorable and gorgeous adventure. And the leg rowers race another miraculous piece of serendipity. If you want any more detailed info let me know. Alison xox. Alison and Don, before stumbling upon your blog I never thought of visiting Inle Lake should I go back to Myanmar one day. But your beautiful pictures and lovely description totally changed the way I see the lake. And thank you so much for the information on hintha bird. Oh you must go to Inle — it was one of the most magical places in Myanmar for us. The top 3 were Inle, Bagan and Shwedagon Pagoda. Oh and Maha Muni Pagoda in Mandalay.
