About
Min Min: What people say... "Min was a chemistry graduate from the university in nearby Taungyi but worked at hotels for many years before striking it out in 2005 with his rustic restaurant and later trek guide services around Inle Lake. A hardworking and bright burmese, Min Min is also very aware of the immediate environmental issues that makes him a very valuable asset to his community. I will highly recommend anyone to Min Min for his trekking and Inle Lake boat services. His wife also does a mighty fine dish of Inle Lake fish curry." Local Information: Nyaung Shwe (Burmese: ) is a town a few kilometers north of Inle Lake in the Shan State of Myanmar. It is located south of Sakangyi and southwest of Taunggyi. Bawrithat Pagoda lies in the southern part of the town. Nyaung Shwe is the tourist hub for visiting Inle Lake. It consists of one main thoroughfare with numerous side streets and a few parallel roads. The main street has numerous shops, several restaurants, a few stupas, travel agencies and a market (located behind the storefronts). Near the end of this road, a bridge crosses the river channel near an impressive mirror-tiled stupa. The town serves as a marina for the numerous long boats carrying tourists into the lake. The lake itself is located a few kilometers south through a river channel. Nyaung Shwe can be reached by bus, car, or by plane via the airport in Heho, located about a one-hour drive away.
