Boat pier at Inle Khaung Daing, Shan State
This intha village in the north-western shore of Inle Lake is especially well known for hot springs nearby. Khaung Daing village can be reached by car directly from Taunggyi (capital of Shan State, 2 hours drive), from Nyaungshwe by car(one and half hour drive) or bicycle, or from the lake by boat (30 minute from Nyaungshwe and 5 minute drive from the boat pier to the village). Main reason people go to Khaung Daing village is to bath in the hot springs near the village. There are both public bath places as well as private bath rooms (US$ 2 per room). The water is said to cure a number of joint and muscle diseases such as arthritis. Apart from famous hot springs, Khaung Daing is also famous for the soybean cakes and shan noodle as well as pottery and weaving. Every village in Inle Lake produces Inle style textile which is quite famous among local Burmese as well as foreign visitors to Myanmar (Burma).
The road to Khaung Daing from Taunggyi or Nyaungshwe is quite rough and bumpy with a lot of pot holes. The boat trip from Nyaungshwe is smother and you can make it as the first stop on your tour to Inle Lake.
