Itinerary

Day 1 Yangon – Heho – Inle Lake – Inndein (By flight) (-/L/-)

Early morning, pick up from your hotel in Yangon and transfer to Airport for domestic flight to Heho (approx: 0845/0955 – direct). Meet with our guide at Heho Airport and drive down into the valley to Nyaung Shwe (Approx 1 hour), the jetty town of Inle Lake. On the way a stop is made at Shwe Yan Pyay Monastery for a nice photo.

Then, walk down to the jetty and take a long-tailed boat across the lake to Indaing at the western end of Inle for one of the most scenic trips on the Lake.

Proceed by boat by passing through the busy village of Yawama, the largest on the Lake with its many channels and tall teak houses on stilts, enter a long often tree lined canal towards Inndein Jetty with farmers cultivating their land on either side under the backdrop of the Shan Hills. After disembarking it is a 15 minute walk through Inndein village to reach the 14-18th century pagoda ruins of Nyaung Ohak; many pagodas here remain charmingly un-renovated with plants and even small trees growing out of them making it very atmospheric. A covered walkway, popular with souvenir stalls leads up to Shwe (Golden) Inn Dein Pagoda, a complex of weather beaten zedi; some sadly reconstructed although the views from the top make it worth the ascent. Returning to the river jetty we take our long-tailed boat back along the canal to the Lake and proceed to Nyaung Shwe. Dinner (By own account) and accommodation at Hotel in Nyaung Shwe.
