"INLE LAKE DAY TOURS TAUNGGYI INFORMATION"

TAUNGGYI : Taunggyi, over 1430m above sea-level, is the capital of Shan State. A sizeable town and the economic centre of this productive region, it was once a British hill station as the climate is cool and pleasant all the year round.

The annual hot air balloon Festival of Taunggyi is immensely popular throughout Myanmar, and throngs come to see the airborne marvels created in honour of the Buddha. Fireworks fill the sky and Taunggyi becomes the centre of entertainment and delight for three days and nights. The market, offering everything from handmade bamboo, plastic and wire baskets, to cooked frogs, live eels, traditional medicines, every kind of fruit and vegetable, extraordinary flowers and fabrics, is held every fifth day. It is crowded with ethnic minorities in their brightly colored traditional dress. The journey from Inle lake to Taunggyi takes about an hour. For golfing enthusiasts there is the added bonus of the 18 hole Aye Thay Gold Resort, located at the bottom of Taunggyi hill.

KAKKU : Kakku, about 40 km south of Taunggyi (a 1½ hour drive), is one of the famous religious sites of Shan State, and the holiest religious site of the local Pa-O people. Over two thousand stupas and temples, many years old, stand together in a complex rarely visited by foreigners. The tinkling sound of countless Htis (brass parasols atop the stupas, the remoteness and air of long neglect, make this a magical place. Visitors need to obtain a special pass and engage a Pa-an guide in order to enter the complex or its nearby villages. You can reach there by car or by trekking from Inle Lake for one day.
