Inle lake

Travelling is the best way for spending holidays and for getting new experience. The most important fact is to choose the right place to get great satisfaction. I want to point an excellent and amazing place for your holidays. In this place there is no road, no houses and no farms on the land. They are all in the water or in the lake. That strange place is Inle Lake and it is situated in Shan State. Inle Lake is embraced by the mountains and it is the second largest lake in Myanmar. At that place people don’t live on the land, they live in the lake and they are called Intha. They live in stilt houses. There are many villages around the Lake. The villagers row the boats where they want to go. Normal people row by hands but in the Lake Intha row by leg. No one dare to stand on the moving boat but Intha can. They stand at the edge of the boat and row. When their legs are rowing their hands are fishing. Therefore unique leg-rowing style of Intha is a major tourist attraction. Leg- rowing races are celebrated at great events. Another strange fact in the Lake is Intha create floating farms and they grow on them especially in tomatoes. Their markets aren’t opened daily. They apply 5 days after 1 day market system so their market is mobile. Famous pagoda in the Lake is Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda. The festival of the Pagoda is usually fall in full moon day of Thadinguyt according to Lunar Calendar. Indein village is famous for its ruined clusters of pagodas which were built in 16 th century. There are many places to visit in the Lake which are goldsmith, silversmith and blacksmith workshops, Shan shoulders bag weaving workshops, weaving workshops special robe by lotus thread, cheroot workshops, making boats workshops, traditional handicrafts silk weaving on wooden handlooms and so on. Native people from Inle Lake of daily life style isn’t entertainment you can image everything are floating and I confidently say if you get the Inle Lake, you can’t forget the scenic beauty of the Lake. The trekking way from Kalaw to Inle Lake is popular among the visitors.
