The incredible leg rowing fishermen of Inle Lake
In this short documentary style video, we chat with some of Inle Lake's fishermen to find out about their daily lives on the lake.
The lake is not only used for obtaining fish, but shrimp and seaweed too. The latter is used as feed for pigs (important for the many celebratory feasts as part of local tradition) and as the base for their floating gardens - on which they grow crops like tomatoes and gourds.

Yay! Come visit myanmar! Myanmar wa Nippon ga suki!
Visited Mynmar in 2018. Inle lake was a location I saw. Beautiful place. Saw real fisherman and some staged fisherman for tourists. Either way, very interesting
I was bourn there and lived there over 30 years. I left her over a decade ago. I’ve been Kyite Htee Yoe Pagoda, Inlay Lake a few times but I didn’t learn as much as you did. I like the way you guys travel around there. Short scene but really really GREAT. I love watching this and other scenes about my country and finally big thank you guys for reminding me of my trips to those places 🙂👍
I wanna visit
So cool! Beautiful. That's some fancy leg-work - lol!

Via our accommodation in Nyaungshwe notesofnomads.com/MotelAlbum (affiliate link). We highly recommend it as a place to stay in general around Inle Lake. You can see footage of it in this video, along with the other places we stayed at in Myanmar: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dKeXrpaHhZCte5s.html
Did you enjoy fish for your meal while you were there? I suggest not to eat fish. Some of those fish eat human dead body. Cuz inthar (people from inlay lake) traditionally bury the body in the lake or their ash in the lake. In fact, my grandpa’s ash is in the middle of the lake.
