Search Pekon hotels

The best area to stay in Pekon is generally along the shores of Inle Lake, particularly near the main town of Pekon itself, or slightly further north towards Loikaw, depending on your priorities.


The area around Pekon town offers convenient access to the lake. While Pekon isn't a large city, staying near the main cluster of guesthouses and local eateries provides a practical base for exploring the southern part of Inle Lake. You'll find yourself close to the local market and the main jetties for boat trips.


For travellers interested in cultural exploration and a slightly more developed infrastructure, staying closer to Loikaw, the capital of Kayah State, is an excellent option. This area offers a broader selection of accommodations and provides easier access to the Kayan villages, known for their unique traditions, and the Taungwe Pagoda, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills.

The best time to go to Pekon is during the dry season, which runs from October to May.


This period avoids the heavy monsoon rains and offers cooler, more comfortable temperatures, particularly from November to February. You'll find it easier to travel and enjoy outdoor activities without the disruption of daily downpours.


For those interested in exploring the natural beauty of Inle Lake and its surroundings, visiting between November and February is ideal. The weather is pleasantly cool, making boat trips and visits to floating gardens more enjoyable. This is also a good time for hiking in the nearby hills, as the trails are dry and the views are clear.


If you prefer slightly warmer weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder months of October or March to May are also good options.
