Head to the idyllic shores of Inle Lake to embark on a scenic boat ride through stilted villages framed by the pale blue of distant mountains. Check out the practices at a local monastery, find out why fisherman paddle boats with their legs, and tuck into a delicious lunch of regional specialities.

Meet up with your guide when they pick you up directly in front of your hotel in Inle Lake and head to the lakefront to hop aboard your boat for the day. Shove off from the bank and head to your firsts stop of the day, keeping your eyes peeled for local anglers manoeuvring through the shallow water by manipulating their long paddles with their legs.

Snap some photos of the tranquil rural landscapes, get up-close looks at floating gardens, and listen as you guide explains how residents create entire farms just above the water's surface. Nearby, dock your boat and go inside the Nga Phe Kyaung Monastery, known for its collection of agile, jumping cats, and then continue on to a beloved restaurant which specialises in delightful bowls of Shan noodles.

Chat with your guide over lunch and ask any questions you might have about this intriguing part of Myanmar before returning to your craft and heading back to shore where you can hop back in a comfortable ride and return to your hotel.
