Dive head first into the life and culture of the Inthar, the native residents of Inle Lake. Dress in traditional outfits and venture through stilted villages, getting an up-close look at the people’s daily activities. Encounter leg-rowing fishermen, pick vegetables at floating farms and prepare an Inthar meal at a local house. Cruise onto the Lake’s waters and enjoy the views of the lush mountains that surround the lake. See Intha fishermen at work and stop for a closer look at their unique techniques. Observe how they use one leg to balance the boat, the other leg to support the fishing cage, one arm to aim the fishing cage and the other arm to steer. It is a technique that is unique to the region and takes years to master. Join the fishermen, grab a local net and try to catch fish for lunch. With fish in hand, head onwards to the floating gardens to collect fresh produce. Get up-close and see how these unique farm beds are built using bundles of weeds, mud and bamboo poles. Explore the rows of tomatoes, eggplants and other produce that grow on the highly-nutritious gardens. Chose a selection of fresh items.
