Locals from the surrounding hills come to the market to peddle their wares, such as colorful woven baskets. You’ll stop by workshops where weavers make silk on wooden looms and see men at work in a traditional blacksmith shop. In your boat, you’ll pass by floating gardens — gardens that local farmers have made by weaving together seagrass to make small islands. This tour also takes you to see religious monuments, like the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda and its five holy images of Buddha.
Next, your tour continues by boat. This route passes along a small creek and takes you to some of Inle Lake’s most scenic destinations, including a collection of old stupas called Inn Dein. Sloping hills covered in greenery add to the site’s beauty. As you paddle along, you’ll also see farmers cultivating rice in paddies near the edge of the lake.
