Kyle & Taylor | Inle Lake Myanmar Wedding in Nyaungshwe

Myanmar Wedding on Spellbinding Inle Lake

Kyle and Taylor had their Myanmar Wedding on stunning Inle Lake in Shan State, Myanmar. Nyaungshwe is the capital of Nyaungshwe Township, located in Taunggyi District.

The Inle Lake region is one of Myanmar’s most beautiful destinations. Imagine a vast and peaceful lake surrounded by marshes and floating gardens. In this tranquil setting, you’ll find stilt-house villages and Buddhist temples standing above the water. Here, Intha fisherfolk maneuver their boats using their distinctive leg-rowing technique.

Hills encircle the lake, where various ethnic groups like the Shan, Pa-O, Taung Yo, Danu, Kayah, and Danaw live. They often come down from their villages to visit rotating markets nearby.

We rode a boat from the Inle Princess resort to Nga PheKyaung Monastery in the floating village of Ywama. After enjoying some entertaining door games, the couple entered for their Buddhist ceremony. After feeding the monks, we took the boats around the lake before returning to Nyaungshwe.

Wow, what a wedding!

Myanmar

Myanmar, also known as Burma, is a country located in Southeast Asia. Its breathtaking natural scenery and rich cultural heritage are well-known. From the rolling hills and verdant forests of the Shan State to the pristine beaches of Ngapali. The ancient ruins of Bagan, Myanmar, offer visitors a wealth of stunning sights. I can recommend visiting Myanmar!

But Inle Lake is one small part of the natural beauty that Myanmar has to offer. The country boasts the majestic Himalayan peaks, the lush rainforests of the Tanintharyi Region, and the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea. Wedding parties can enjoy pristine beaches, hike through challenging landscapes, and uncover hidden waterfalls and caves.

Beyond its natural wonders, Myanmar is also steeped in history and culture. The country has a rich and diverse heritage that spans thousands of years. Ancient temples, pagodas, and ruins dot the landscape. Some of the most famous historical sites in Myanmar include the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, the temples of Bagan, and the Mandalay Palace.
