Inle Lake buying powder

After a beautiful, but also nauseating winding road through the mountains, I arrive in relaxed Kalaw. In Kalaw I immediately book a number of walks with the guide Aa and his girlfriend Oma, beautiful names! Aa is focused on the local people and which is something that appeals to me. I book the following treks : Day 1 to different villages and tribes, day 2 toward the Buddha cave, day 3,4 and 5 from Kalaw to Inle-lake while sleeping at the locals during this trip. The guide has to clear the path using hands and feet. Aa knows something about everything and the first few hours in the trip, our conversations is about buddhism, very interesting. The second day we walk over pretty and quiet paths, we barely run into people and no tourist at all. We come across different tribes and the crops they cultivate. At a small place where the people hang and dry garlic, we eat a chick pea salad, absolutely blissful. On my bare feet holy grounds I slip and slide through this wet stalactite cave. The cave is a pilgrimage and therefore full with Burmese tourists. Myanmar consists out of more than different ethnical groups tribes. Along the road we meet several tribes like the Palaung and Paoh. See the faces of Myanmar on Instagram. Day 3 we make a nice walk through the protected rainforest, and come across a year old dam, tiny lakes, open fields and small winding paths. The walk is variably and pretty. In the end we even walk a bit on the railroad tracks. Aa ensures me that we have enough time to step aside in the case a train would approach. The kids are so happy with a pencil, banana or tangerine. We also bring some schoolsupplies to a local school. Once we reach the homestay, we wash us with a bowl of water and the toilet is situated around 50 meters from the house. Right after we arrive, we have a meal, it almost feels a bit hurried. At everybody is in bed, including our hosts of the home. Because of a wet misty start in the morning, we first stop for food a a small foodshack at the trainstation. The breakfast is excellent as usual, an avacado, boiled egg and fresh bread rolls. A small and cute girl receives a blue umbrella from me and loves it, which I really enjoy. Along the route, we have a fantastic view over the valley and the mountains. In the afternoon we walk between pretty fields of flowers and see a magical colored sunset. At the homestay we have nice food, I join the prayers with the lady of the house and we make small conversation. I have a small cozy bed in front of the altar and Buddha watches over me. Today we go to Inle-Lake. After a morning walk we take on open car on the next bit. The final part we navigate with a longboat with the long engine in the back to our village Nyuang Shwe, which brings a nice relaxed closure to these last few days. I really have to scrub in the shower. After a while without modern facilities, I can really enjoy some luxury. The Inla-lake is among others famous for its traditional fishermen. I do the touristic boattrip and visit to weaving shop, gold smith and market. I especially enjoy being on the boat. The lake is situated between the mountains and you can see floating gardens with fruit and vegetables everywhere. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Inle Lake – Color Explosion and Land of traditional Trades

I've gathered that inle lake is a popular destination but the reason for my inability to decide is because the lake seems to be a little out of the way and inaccessible - so is it worth the hassle? Posts: 7. Posts: 1. Location: Global Village. Posts: 2, Highly recommend to go. If you do not have enough time, skip Mandalay. There are daily bus from Bagan to Inle. Unfortunately only one bus. Posts: Each of these places is, at least, one full day away from each other. You would most likely be looking at approximately full days Yangon to Inle takes longer than the other trips of just moving from Point A to Point B. But, it is possible. You won't see much, but it's possible. When I was there a good section of the highway leading to Nyaungschwe at Inle Lake was not paved and a large stretch of highway, especially leading up into the mountains, had been pounded into a fine dust like talcum powder by all the buses and trucks. Considering that June is the rainy season, this particular journey could be a very long, tough slog, if not treacherous or not possible at all. Maybe someone who has made the trip recently and in the rainy season has different info? The buses I took were clean, but very tight on space. The only exception was a bus I took from Kyaiktiyo to Yangon, but that was only a 4 hour trip. You'll get great temples in Bago, Burma's second most sacred place at Kyaiktiyo, an excellent and interesting town Mawlamyaing , and boat travel from Mawlamyaing to Hpa-an. You'll be able to put more time into checking places out, rather than spending that time on long, cramped bus trips. Good luck. Location: Canada. Posts: 1, The bus is not aircon: highway big bus. Just a minibus. It's not too crowded. You will get your own seat. But as mention above post very tight on space. If you have problem with your kneel, you shouldn't think about it. Anyhow the bus leaves in the early morning and you will get to Shwe Nyaung junction about 4 pm. Then proceed to Nyaung Shwe by a truck. It will cost about Kyats approx. Yangon to Inle Lake by bus leave about 1pm and get to the junction in the morning Then fly from Inle to Mandalay. Down to Bagan by the river and back to Yangon by train. With all different atmosphere. Tilapia raised a very good point about the state of the road to Inle Lake in June. December is supposed to be dry season but it rained heavily when I and mudslides blocked the road for 3 days when I was there in Kalaw is on the road to Inle. I'm not sure why it says Mandalay-Bagan on the bus because it didn't even go via Mandalay! PS sorry about typo I didn't block the road, mudslides did! Will Stuart never get round to giving people an edit function? In that case, I may either take a domestic flight do you happen to know if I'd have to book in advance? Sorry for asking so many questions! Hi linjingyi, You cannot fly to Nyaungschwe. You have to fly to Heho and then go to Nyaungschwe by taxi or bus or pick-up or ox cart or bicycle. This means that you will still have to take that bad road across the mountains to get to Inle. Considering that it will be the rainy season, you might want to wait until you are in Yangon before getting a flight. It's possible that the roads will be good and dry, but if they are not you will not waste your time or money trying to get there. That's just my suggestion. If you are going to feel better buying your ticket online then Air Bagan will get you there. June is rainy season so expect public buses and ground transport in general to be slower than usual - it's not fast at the best of times! I would really recommend some flights so that you make the most of your limited time. If you really want to take a bus somewhere, the Yangon - Mandalay run is the most comfortable and best value long distance ride. Burma forum Is Inle Lake worth it? You should try to visit Sagar and Kakku. Posts: 2, Member map. Posts: 1, Member map. Log In.
