Hello,
I'm going to Myanmar in August, during raining season. I want to know what would be the safest road to get to Inle Lake by bus: either from Bagan or from Mandalay. Also, are floodings usual in Inle Lake during August or not?

Thanks for the info!

Thank you

Ron

My turn to ask a question as I've not quite made it to golden Rock yet. From what I've read its unclear exactly how far you have to walk in bare feet when you get up there, can anyone explain exactly how far you need to walk? I'm asking on behalf of a friend who is adverse to walking barefoot. Cheers.

Hi there,
We are planning to travel from Kawthaung all the way up to Mawlamyine and wondered if anyone has experience of transport and lodgings along the way. Also any recommendations of where to stop along the way would be greatly appreciated. We plan on taking about 10 days to slowly work our way up.
Thanks.

Heyo!
So I'm looking really deeply in Google without any results. I would like to know how it looks to get around Loikaw in Kayah State, I'm mostly interested in tribal villages. Does anybody know which one except Pan Pet are accessible for single tourist and if its still necessary to get permission? I would be really grateful for any info!!
