Phaung-Taw-Oo Pagoda Festival (14.10.2015 to 31.10.2015)

This pagoda festival which takes place on Inlelake is one of the most famous festivals in Myanmar. From 14th to 31st October, people from all over Myanmar join in the celebration of the festival in Inlelake, which is beautiful with natural resources and the only place the leg-rowing on boat can be seen. Including boat races, which add as a beauty to the festival, it is very interesting for the reason that the Buddha images are taken by carrying on the raft, decorated with the shape of a Burmese mythical bird, which is traditionally rowed by leg. The festival is the most famous in Inle lake region and the vista of Inle attracts all the visitors together with the pleasant climate condition. They celebrate the biggest boat competition even at the end of the festival on 31st October at the holiest pagoda which names Phaung Taw Oo.

We do recommend this festival to all travelers who have already planned to visit Myanmar in coming October. Not only to see the festival but also sightseeing in Inle Lake. It is one of the must see sites in Myanmar.
