Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda

Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda is a major shrine on Inle Lake, associated with the lake’s annual boat festival. Its Buddha images and waterside approach anchor a distinct cultural stop.

Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda

Why go

The pagoda sits within Inle Lake’s inhabited water landscape and remains central to a major local festival. The tourism ministry describes pilgrims gathering for the images and boat procession. Official reporting also notes earthquake damage to the chamber housing the images, so verify both boat-route conditions and the currently accessible parts of the shrine before going.

What to look for

  • Approach the waterside shrine by boat.
  • Understand the site’s role in the annual lake festival.

Useful to know

  • Confirm boat access and the shrine’s current visitor areas.
  • A 2026 ministry report noted earthquake damage to the image chamber.
