The Agro Trail on Inle Lake Shores

Duration

4 hours

Overview

Not alone its size draws a crowd – being one of the largest lakes in the country and home of the Inthar, Inle Lake packs culture and nature all in one go. One of the Shan State most rewarding sights for travel aficionados who are eager to explore all corners of this rich-in-vegetation lake, the region’s fertile grounds also draws farmers to its surface. Farmers have used the constant supply of freshwater as a means to cultivate a large variety of vegetables and crop in such a way that gives visitors new perspectives on observing organic agriculture. Season after season, the finest products reach the outer corners of Myanmar, and this labour-intensive means of crop cultivation forms the centre of this half-day excursion. We follow in the footsteps of the farming communities of Inle Lake where floating gardens and sustainable techniques are shown.
