Inle Lake is found in the Shan State in a valley
surrounded by lush green mountains. The lake is
freshwater and is home to around 70,000 people
who mostly survive through fishing and farming.
The quaint village of Indein on the western side
of the lake is accessed by a winding river that
is too shallow to use late in the dry season
3
The 5-day rotating market around Inle Lake offers
a good opportunity to meet many different local
tribes
4
Indein, this mysterious place is at the end of
the marvellous Indein creek, which connected with
Inle Lake just after the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda
5
The creek is narrow with many twist and turns.
Since the both sides are paddy fields you can see
the farmers ploughing and harrowing by water
buffaloes. At the lunch time while groups of
farmers having lunch the water buffaloes enjoy
themselves dipping in the creek

the water by bamboo barriers to irrigate the
paddy fields. Indein water is not only useful
for irrigation also for bathing and washing
cloths.

It is compulsory to see Novice monks, buffalo
boys and village girls wash and swim in the creek.

Inle Lake and because it is a rural area, Inle
Lake does not have malls, shopping centres or
supermarkets

they need from floating markets present in every
village

The sellers carry all their merchandise on boats
and conduct sales from there. With so many people
on boats hawking their wares, there are times
when the canals of the lake experience heavy
traffic

Shopping at Inle Lake is also dependent on the
five-day rotating markets. For tourists, the
experience can be tricky since the market does
not have a specific schedule and venue
24
The market is open every five days, and its
location constantly changes. For market days, the
tribe people from the hills come down to sell
their goods. For those looking for a particular
product, the shopping can be done in the village
in which the product is made.

common shopping needs and is held daily but the
location of the event rotates through five

of them hosting an itinerant market every fifth
day.
37

from the mountains to buy and sell their goods,
such as many different hand -made items. The
market place is alive with activity and the hill

The village of Indain is also a tourist
destination for the ruins of ancient pagodas, and
Nyaung Oak is one of them. Nyaung Oak is not a
single pagoda rather, it is a group of pagodas
found immediately behind the village. The ancient
pagodas may be crumbling, but the intricate
details of the structures can still be seen. In
some parts, the elaborate stucco carvings of
celestial beings and mythical animals are still
apparent
