    Such a hidden gem. We took a boat here and almost got sidetracked by some ruins on the way up so almost didn't make it to the main site - make sure you keep walking all the way to the end of the walkway to get to the main be pagoda. The site is really unbelievable and breathtaking, the pagodas are all colors, sizes, and in different states. It's honestly hard to capture in photos so if you can bring a GoPro or something with a really wide angle lens.

    This pagoda was really beautiful and amazing! You’re trip to Inle lake is incomplete if you don’t visit here! Coming here usually needs an extra fee and you should ask the boat driver beforehand. Prices are 20k to 25k including Shwe Inn Dein Pagoda

    Lake Inle can be an excellent base for day tours to the various attractions of this region of Myanmar, and a trip to Shwe Indein Pagoda, before a short cruise in the lake watching for fishermen at work. It is assumed that the temple of Shwe Indein has over 1600 stupas, though an exact estimation can not be made ​​because many of them are totally destroyed, while others were swallowed by vegetation. The place is full of charm and mystery, and the whole is surrounded by a picturesque landscape.

    This is the best out of all the sites in and around Inle Lake... IMPO. Its hauntedness is its charm, newly surrected stupas stand among old ruins. If there is only one place to see for your trip to Inle Lake, Shwe Inn Dein Pagoda has gotta be it. The river path off the lake to the pagoda is one delightful journey.

    Very very very nice out there. Many small shops but no one asking you to buy something. The Pagoda itself is worth to walk up the way, about 1000m from the pier. πŸ‘βœ¨

    20 minutes walk up the hill from the entrance st the bridge (covered corridor with hundreds of pillars) leads you to a stunning place of 1000+ pagodas, bricks made, many shining gold on the top of the hill. Definitely unique and worth visiting.

    The golden stupas are amazing, but the old and kind of abandoned ones on the outskirt of the Pagoda are somehow more attracted to me. A must visit to In Dein village. We took a bike tour from Aungpan(near Kalaw) to the pagodas and then take the boat trip to Ngyaung Shwe. Both the bike and boat trip were great with different view to the Inle lake. Recommend to experience both!

    Hundreds of pagodas, more or less old. A nice moment walking in a quiet and religious area. By respecting the site ( don't climb, grab some pieces of rocks, stay quiet) you will enjoy this moment and can pick some good pictures, playing at hide and seek with the sun. On the other side of the long market you will find some quite old stupas and pagodas. The shops are known to sell fake antiquities and gems. I didn't pay 500 kyat... nobody ask me. Just follow your way

    Small version of Kakku ruin. The pagoda itself is unique Shan style. You can access by boat and it's also good to travel in canal. The car hire from boat jetty cost a lot. Try motor cycle or come by car.

    Also known as Shwe Inn Tain or Shwe Inn Thein. A hectic boat ride from Inle Lake, then you approach the Pagoda along an uphill covered walkway, which is home to hundreds of craft stalls. All around there are probably thousands of ancient stupas here, many of them crumbling away but fascinating to look at and very photogenic.

    When you finish visiting this stuppas go through to the other side entrance you will see a golden stuppa on a small hill just in front of this entrance. Take the right hand road and go up (7 min) you will have a nice view on the stuppas and the mountains don t miss that
