1. Inle Lake, Indein Lake nearby trekking areas are recommended 

Sight-seeing of the hills, places of worship and the unique leg-paddling fishermen. Trekking to see markets, farms and villagers. See to appreciate and their way of life, their schools, teachers and students. Explore the surroundings - climate changes affecting the water level.

Suggested things to do:
