Samkar / Sagar (or) Sankar
village
Samkar (also spelt Sargar or Sankar)
village is located in the Deep South, around
3-hours boat drive from Nyaungshwe. The
area is so far protected and administered
by PNO (Pa O National Organization) and
thus visitors are required to take compulsory
tour escorts endorsed by PNO. Sagar has
been a thriving town of yet another Shan
Sao Bwa (heredity prince), and hardly explored
by the tourists. The boat journey to Sagar
is simply enjoyable for those who love nature
with hazy Blue Mountains, dotted floating
farms, different kinds of indigenous / migratory
birds, and several villages of Inthars,
ever happy-&-content people. The impressive
ruins of Sagar, welcoming Pa O villagers,
and pleasant boat journey will make you
a rewarding day excursion away from the
tourist crowd, and usual sights of Inle
Lake.
