Inle Lake- We rounded off the trip with a three night stay in a wonderful place called Inle Lake . Houses, stores, hotels, gas stations...just bout everything you can imagined are built in the water and serviced from a boat.
What was most remarkable and perhaps world famous are the floating vegetable gardens around the lake.

From plane to boat

When our boat turned in to Inle Lake, we had a sigh of relief. The last place we stayed was a bit scary. The town had no lights at night, the hotel was dirty...more like filthy and the one restaurant in the village center had fried rice and more fried rice. We did not want to even drink the bottled water so we took to drinking beers and in two days, I think I drank more beer then I did in college.

The fishing men of Inle lake have the most amazing technique in fishing, They balance on the tippy part of the boat, row with one leg and toss the net. Enjoy the unique photos.

With continuous luck we arrived in Inle Lake the day of the annual festival when thousand of people took the day off and decorated their floating temple and boys had rowing contest and music came from everywhere. It was a memorable sight!
