Part 8B.** Boat trip Inle Lake to Nyaung Shwe ** May 2012

The trekking finished and we boarded a boat at the South West side of the Inle Lake that would bring us to Nyaung Shwe, located at the Northern end of the Inle Lake. The whole team was in 1 boat (cost for this trip was 15000 kyat ~ app 20 US$)

First we had to sail through a canal before reaching the lake itself, see a video impression of the canal trip below.


After a while we reached the Inle Lake itself, it is a major transport route between villages located at the Lake also a fishing ground at a very traditional way; the water at the Lake is very shallow !

See 2 videos of the trip on the Lake below.




To reach Nyaung Shwe the last part was via a canal at the North side of the Lake, see a video of this part below.



More can be seen on the pics below.


** The long tail boat is fast and comfortable with deck chairs ! **
