Saga Trip at Inle
Sagar (Samkar)
The name is said to be taken from the Sagarbin (Frangipani tree - the champak). King Asoka is said to have built a pagoda in the center of Sagar with an image made of Saga wood (Frangipani wood) and built a town around it. Since the mid 1600's the area has been home to complex irrigation and agriculture systems.
There are a few ancient pagodas, which are simple but beautiful nonetheless. The valley is entirely given over to paddy cultivation and the slopes have long since been cleared of all large tree growth for hill crops. It is worth visiting the area on the market day when people from local tribes come together. Although a bit longer boat ride, the trip to Sagar is a beautiful one that passes a number of tribal villages and is a perfect daytrip for the traveler wanting a relaxing day away from other tourists.
SAGA village is situated at the southern part of Inle lake. It takes 2:30 hours driven by Boat from Shwe Inn Tha Hotel to SAGA village. We can arrange lunch box for the guest because meals are unavailable there. Guests should visit with the local Guide (Pa.Oh ) because of Pa.oh peoples speak their own language.
