Inle Photo Tour

Hotel Pick-Up for Sunrise Shoot:
Your pick-up time will vary depending on your hotel location around Inle Lake:

• Nyaung Shwe Hotels: If your hotel is located in Nyaung Shwe, you’ll need an earlier start to walk to the jetty for a boat ride to the shooting site.
• Lakeside Hotels: Pick-up times will be more flexible, but punctuality is key to reach the shooting location on time.

Shooting Grounds:

• Pre-Sunrise Magic: Arrive at your shooting ground at least 30 minutes before sunrise to capture the stunning transition of colors during the pre-dawn light.
• Staged vs. Free Shooting:
  • Staged Shots: For iconic and well-composed shots, we can arrange local fishermen to model for you, showcasing their traditional leg-rowing technique or casting nets.
  • Free Shooting: If you prefer natural, candid shots, you’ll need to locate active fishermen on the lake during the early morning hours.

• Post-Sunrise Activities:

  1. Visit the Vibrant Local Market:
     • If your travel date coincides with the Five-Day Market, we’ll take you to one of the rotating market locations around the lake. Here, you can photograph colorful stalls, fresh produce, and local villagers showcasing traditional crafts.
  2. Explore the Floating Gardens and Watch Tower:
     • If the market day doesn’t align with your visit, you’ll head to a bamboo watchtower nestled among the floating gardens. From here, capture a panoramic view of the lake and the beautifully cultivated floating farms.

Key Highlights of the Tour:

• Witness the mesmerizing colors of Inle Lake during sunrise.
• Capture iconic photos of leg-rowing fishermen in action.
• Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of local markets.
