Total elapsed time: 1 hour. 12:10 PM Arrive Heho. After collecting luggage you will be met outside the baggage claim area by your driver and escorted to a waiting vehicle for your 1 hour overland transfer to Inle Lake. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shan Plateau, the vegetation and the Tribal people at work. Board a long-tail boat for an insider's view of the life in this unique region. Community villages and farms perch over the waters on stilts and float on pads of reeds and earth. Observe the leg-rowers and visit the local handicraft villages (silk weaving on wooden handlooms, cheroots making and a blacksmith shop). Pass endless floating gardens where fruit and vegetables are grown. Visit the landmark Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda, 5 sacred Buddha Images, Ngaphaechaun Monastery, known as the “Jumping Cat Monastery” because the resident monks have trained their cats to leap through hoops, and the silk weaving work of art of Inle.
