Found a pretty neat, semi-off the beaten path place here in Myanmar about hour and forty-five
minutes from Inle Lake. Check it out.
Hello, from Inle Lake. So, Bagan was really beautiful. Really wonderful. And now we're
in Inle Lake. And I kind of was excited to see this beautiful lake framed by mountains,
but it seems like it's already burning season here because I can barely even see just faint
outlines of the mountains that are really close to us. And there's fires blazing everywhere.
It doesn't really seem like lake activities are gonna be good today, so we're going to
head to a temple complex called Kakku. Sort of an alternative to exploring the lake, which
I don't think is gonna yield much, in terms of view.
This is pretty neat. I think a great deal of it has been restored, though, because you
can see some of the stupas don't have anything on them. Like I'm looking at one now that's
all brick. And, some of them have all of these, sort of, animals or people or mythological
creatures on it, or probably things that are from Buddhist beliefs, so it's really cool
to see it all here. I love that one with the leaves growing out of it. Super cool. It's
really beautiful. Entrance fee was 5,000 kyat. Not a big deal. Around like three something.
Between $3 and $4.
So magical with the bells.
It's a bit breezy today so when there's any wind, you just hear them going.
This is a really cool spot. I don't know how many hundreds or maybe even thousands there
are, maybe thousands. Just all in this one Kakku area. Super cool.
I don't see really many other tourists. We're here at nearly 3 o'clock. It seems like there was a big local
group that just left. But otherwise, we are not really splitting it with too many people
which is nice.
I am most definitely stoked that we came here today. I've never seen anything like this
which is what I keep exclaiming all throughout Myanmar, but I'm totally smitten with this
country. It's just been so beautiful. The people are really nice. People always want
to take pictures together, and the friendliness and the hospitality is amazing. So, come here
for the pagodas which are unlike anything in the world, but stay for the awesome people.
And if you're looking for an alternative thing to do in Inle Lake area, this is definitely it.
