Trek from Kalaw to Inle Lake

The town of Kalaw is about 65km before Inle Lake and took 3 days to reach the lake. The trek is through hills and jungle, along the rice fields of local villages. The first night we came across a little town with a train  station, where hundreds of locals sell their crops in the train.

The first night we spent at a family in a village. They provided very delicious food, a floor to sleep on and a lovely shower, which was basically a bucket of cold water in the grass. The second day we passed more villages and rice fields, before reaching a monastry in the afternoon, where we spent the second night. In this monastry were five young monks tought by the head of the monastry.

Finally we reached Inle Lake and we took a boat to bring us across the lake, where fishing is the main business of locals.
