ReplyDeleteIf you have a chance to visit Myanmar, you should make time for a Kalaw Inle lake trek 2 days. Inle Lake is one of the most famous tourist attraction of Myanmar. Visiting Inle lake you can come to the traditional crafting village which lies near the river's edge. You must be surprised by the way the locals use the threat which is made of lotus stalk to weave. Each clothing with the dimension 1.2*0.8 m can cost about hundred thousand of dollars. Inle Lake is also the best place to watch the sunset. That must be romantic for you and your partner to watch the sunset together in a dugout.
