Inle Lake Boat Trip, Shan State, Myanmar


Inle Lake (အင်းလေးကန်) is located in Nyaungshwe Township, Taunggyi District, Shan State. The nearest airport is Heho Airport - approximately 1 hour drive away to the nearest port in Nyaungshwe.

 Inle lake is the second largest lake in Myanmar (after Indawgyi Lake).



What is fascinating for me is to see that critical role of the lake for the local villagers. The lake acts as a fishing ground, a platform for floating market, to a foundation for floating houses.



Stretched from Nyaungshwe to Nampan, Inle Lake also acts as an important transportation route for the people in the area.
