Most are devout Buddhists, and live in simple houses of wood and woven bamboo on stilts; they are largely self-sufficient farmers.Their way of life is well adapted to the environment of Inle Lake.
Most transportation on the lake is traditionally by small boats,or by somewhat larger boats fitted with outboard motors.Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved for the reason that the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men. Women row in the customary style,
using the oar with their hands, sitting cross legged at the stern.
