Nyaungshwe lies at the northern end of Inle Lake and is connected to the lake by a canal. It is the base for visitors' accommodation and lake tours. Guesthouses, restaurants, travel agencies, and bicycle rental shops cluster in town, and at the dock, long-tail boat operators offer private day tours. You can cycle around town to visit monasteries, wineries, and hot springs. Foreign visitors must buy a regional entry ticket to enter the Inle area, available at the town-entrance checkpoint or from hotels; prices vary on site.
