Cycling to Red Mountain for Wine Tasting from Inle Lake

This morning, you will be greeted at your hotel to embark on a half day experience in Nyaung Shwe. Before setting off on a ride through town, first thing you have to do is familiarize yourself with your mountain bike. Although being primarily populated by Shan and Inthar, the gateway to Inle Lake of Nyaung Shwe, with recent development, has become a melting pot of tribes. If you ride in the morning, you can visit a lively market. For afternoon riders, paying a visit to one of many tomato warehouses is also not a bad idea. 

Then, you will ride to the outskirts of NyaungShwe, where you can see bamboo precursors instead of concrete buildings. The streets become shadier and farms line the roads. Along the way, you can make a stop for photo opportunities and village visits.

 Before you reach Red Moutain Estate, which is a collaboration of local Pa-Oh and a French vintage, a short uphill ride is the final leg. Before settling down at their hilltop restaurant for a tasting, you will take a tour of their wine-making facilities. After that, you will cycle back to Nyaung Shwe.

Time: 0800 – 1200 or 1300 – 1700
