 One
of the most picturesque spots in Southeast Asia,
Inle Lake and surrounding region is an
outstanding alternative to the historical sites
of Bagan and Mandalay. Surrounded by hazy Blue
Mountains, this lovely lake is home to the Intha
people, who constructed villages on stilts over
the surface of the lake and farm floating
islands created from mud and reed. It is a kind
of water world, where the only mode of
transportation is by boats and the Intha are
also known for their unique leg rowing. At Inle
Lake, one that attracts the Buddhist and non-buddhist
alike is the Phaungdawoo Pagoda, the residence
of five ancient images of Buddha. Although Inle
Lake and the leg-rowers are the most famous
attraction in the region, there's more.
Pindaya
 Situated
some 70 km north of Kalaw at the foot of
Menetaung (Blue Mountain Range). To the east of
Pindaya lies a plateau, which is about 1,000
meters above sea level, and in the west lies a
mountain range that is about 1,500 meters high.
The journey from junction road Aung Pan to
Pindaya is breathtaking in many ways with
panoramic mountain views; resemble the southern
parts of Italy.
The caves at Pindaya are natural limestone ridge
overlooking the lake known as Poketaloke kan,
and home to over 8,000 Buddha Images of various
sizes, made from teak, lacquer, marble,
alabaster and cement. Some Images are said to be
more than 300 years old. On market days, one can
find different national races residing in the
region gathered at the market, buying and
selling the products of the area. During the
tour to southern Shan State one should not miss
to visit Pindaya.
Sagar
 A hidden village dramatized by the greenly
scenery mountains amid the Shan Plateau near the
Lake Inle is Sagar. A boat trip to the village
of Sagar is beyond your imagination. Gazing at
the blue hazy mountains, feeding groups of water
birds that are chattering here and there on the
Lake, scattering floating vegetations and
happy-and-content Inthas (native to the Lake
Inle) in their leg-rowing small boats .. are
some unique spices appetizing those who are
hungry for nature and cleanly environs.
The Sagar village, once must have been a
thriving town of Sawbwa (the heredity prince),
is a place of unexplored. All are intact and
unspoiled. Reach up the Sagar village which
takes a half-day boat ride. There you find
blushing faces of Pa-O tribe, welcoming smiles
of the villagers amidst the dotting religious
buildings (pagodas & monasteries). Witness the
two Ms (Maze & Mystery) there and let the
solution be found in your own tune when you come
in Sagar.
