About Loikaw

Share my little experience.

Hotels

Best one is Hotel Loikaw, existing rooms are bungalow and extension 4 story building is comming. expect to be ready in comming season. Price about $ 60-70

Located off the downtown area, south-west from down town at Naung Yar qtr. Opposite to Htin Ngar Lyar lake

Moderate are

Kantharyar ( 3 room at main building) 4 at separate one. Prefer to stay at main building. Price is reasonable abt $ 45

Thingaha   ( I remember about 4 types of room). Family room and superior is simple, clean and wide enough. Price rang abt $ 50-55

If you are looking for a moderate budget for small group, first  try to get Kantharyar.
Located at south-west from down town. west from  Hotel Loikaw . Opposite to Htin Ngar Lyar lake

Stay away from the so called hotel or guest house in down town. terrible price but service / maintenance and facility are not handsome

For local visitors, newly built Loikaw Princess Guest house is rather good and price is fair  8000- 10000 Ks

Located south-east from  hotel Loikaw

Another new hotel being built belongs to Actor Lwin Moe( here I was told by local driver) would be ready in comming open season. Near to Kayan museum. south-west from Kantharyar hotel. Opposite to Htin Ngar Lyar lake.

Over-viewing for all hotels in Loikaw, I didn't see them much emphasizing on Eco-friendly idea while laid concrete wall with bulb wire / concrete pave that reflect eyesight so pain.

Personal wondering, All owners of accommodation in Loikaw should invite professional architects / landscaping technicians to enhance their existing properties.   
Loikaw and around still have vast and virgin land. The area between Htee Pwint Lake and Seven lakes( est 4 km long)    

Sightseeing

One day is enough within Loikaw and outside

Within Loikaw-

Taung Gwe Zedi is significant highlight / at south from town center

Thit Ta Pin taung( there is original monastery name) higher than Taung Gwe Zedi.

Walking to an fro around main market.

Naung Yar lake

Myo Nan Zedi

Outside loikaw

Htee Pwint lake and Seven lakes

Deemosoe and Ngwe Taung Dam

Today, tourist can visit outside loikaw without heavy restriction. Prepare copy of passport and visa. Then when arrival respective check point, report your trip and leave ID copies. You will be treated very relaxed. I have seen a few foreigner walked about the Ngwe Daung dam that is in Deemosoe once the area was very restricted

If your trip is planned to Loikaw and Inlay lake, it is better first reach to Loikaw by air from Yangon or by road from Kalaw/ aung ban.

Phekon to Inlay lake boat trip makes more and more impressive and be appreciated your trip structure.

Transport contact -                         Bardo Travel                                 

Boat ( Phekon-to Nyaung Shwe)      Co-operative guest house( Phekon)

Pls post from others who has different collection.

Wishing you all the best
