Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda Festival
September-October
Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda lies in the middle of the Inle Lake and is home to five gold leaf-covered statues of Buddha. Every year, four of the Buddhas are placed in the royal barge which is led by boats driven by leg-rowers. The barge procession visits the surrounding villages and the statues are housed in the monasteries overnight.

What Others Say
Here is a small selection of the kind words our clients have said about us recently.
A couple from New York City

Friends from Washington DC and New York
The guides they selected were very good and, in three cases (Seoul, Hoi An/Hue, and Angkor Wat) simply outstanding.
A couple from Australia
Your service was excellent, and as a matter of fact we felt slightly overindulged in luxury and too well looked after at some moments.
