All houses are staying above water level, and appear to be floating. But during the dry season, all the houses are on stilts, they look like wooden skyscrapers. It’s really amazing! You also have an opportunity to take a boating trip into the open-water of the Great Lake and to visit some beautiful floating houses there. Some of the local fishermen family are interested to live in their floating houses, making them easily accessible to move from place to place for their daily fishing activity. Highly recommended!
