Beautiful Inle Lake

Discover a Myanmar less discovered, and take a half (or full) day boat tour to the villages around Inle Lake. We arrived by afternoon, enough time to wrap up the tour with stunning sunset. Serene and simply magical. Villages of simple homes made of wood and woven bamboo rise on stilts above water that, in sections, with elaborate floating gardens. The lotus fabric weaving workshop was also worth to visit. Overall experience was excellent. For those hesitant of boat adventures, fret not: the boats are extremely comfortable, not at all sea-sickness-inducing, and each passenger is seated in a very relaxing armchair of their own for the entire ride. Getting there - 1 hour domestic flight from Yangon to Heho Airport in Shan State. #newyearadventure#yearofrabbit#myanmar#inlelake#myanmar#celebratewithtrip#tripblazers

Few places represent so clearly the meaning of Myanmar. There is so much to see and do in Inle Lake and, above all, to feel, that it is best not to follow any other scheme than the one it proposes. Although Inle Lake is actually only 11 kilometers long, it is spread over so many marshes and canals that its watery influence ultimately extends for just over 100 kilometers. Fortunately, the shores of the lake are still largely untouched by any constructions that might obstruct such a dreamlike panorama. Nyaungshwe, the most important city with the largest tourist infrastructure, is connected to the lake by a canal of approximately 4 kilometers, which distances the Natural Reserve from any self-respecting urban commotion.#nationalpark

Inle Lake

Inle Lake (Burmese: အင်းလေးကန်; MLCTS: ang: le: kan, [ʔɪ́ɰ̃lé kàɰ̃]), a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Shan State, part of Shan Hills in Myanmar (Burma). It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 44.9 square miles (116 km2), and one of the highest at an elevation of 2,900 feet (880 m). During the dry season, the average water depth is 7 feet (2.1 m), with the deepest point being 12 feet (3.7 m). During the rainy season, this can increase by 5 feet (1.5 m).The watershed area for the lake lies to a large extent to the north and west of the lake. The lake drains through the Nam Pilu or Balu Chaung on its southern end. There is also a hot spring on its northwestern shore. Large sections of the lake are covered by floating plants. Its clear and slightly alkaline waters (pH 7.8–8) are home to a diverse fauna and many species found nowhere else in the world (endemics). There are more than 35 native species of fish, including 17 endemics. Some of these, notably the Sawbwa barb, red dwarf rasbora, emerald dwarf rasbora, Lake Inle danio, Inle loach and the Inle snakehead, are of minor commercial importance for the aquarium trade. Several fish that are not native have been introduced. Additionally, the lake is home to about 45 species of freshwater snails, 30 of them endemic, along with a small endemic freshwater crab, Inlethelphusa acanthica. It hosts approximately 20,000 migratory gulls in November to January. In June 2015, it became Myanmar's first designated place of World Network of Biosphere Reserves. It was one of 20 places added at the Unesco's 27th Man and the Biosphere (MAB) International Coordinating Council (ICC) meeting. Since 2018 it has been designated as a protected Ramsar site. #naturalwonders#lakes

the beauty of Kalaw 🏔️🥰⛰️

#timetotravel Kalaw takes a traveller away from the tropical heat of the country. This quaint town is away from the general tourist crowd and offers pristine beauty, unspoilt by human intervention. This old British hill town is the centre for many trekking activities of the country. The town itself is small and can be covered within half an hour’s walk. Kalaw has several trekking routes which takes one through the scenic Shan Hills.

Natural heaven in Myanmar

#visitmyanmar Myanmar country has a big land. There are many places to visit around Myanmar, Shan state one of them. Shan state is similar to western counties, all the time the weather is really good and feels like the winter season. It has hills, mountains, natural gardens and many temples to visit. Myanmar is a Buddhist country so wherever you go you can see different kinds of monasteries. #campingglamping #awesomepic #mytripvlog #tripblazers #summervacation #celebratewithtrip #nationalpark #trip

Amazing place

A one hour boat ride down a small canal take you to the Pa-Oh village of Indein, positioned on the western shores of Inle Lake. You will take a leisurely stroll around the village before ascending the staircase leading to the pagoda. Once you’ve arrived at the summit, you will be greeted by an iconic Buddha image which sits enshrined among hundreds of stupa ruins and overgrown shrubbery. The Indein Pagoda complex is undoubtedly one of the most amazing sites around the shore of the lake and it consists of hundreds of small stupas which are overrun by moss and greenery. On your boat ride back, you can stop at the Inthar Heritage House to learn more about the history and culture of the lake’s indigenous people. #naturalwonders #inle indein #amazingplace

Shwe Indein Pagoda is one of the most important religious and historical building in Indein village. It's worth a pricier boat ride to make it out there to enjoy the good views from the lake. The place is really well preserved and is a pleasure to see. This place is in excellent condition, you don’t need to use your imagination as you can see all details well-preserved. You will find yourself having so much fun wandering around this place, taking photographs as you will feel there are many details to discover. It opens to the public everyday from 7 am to 6 pm. #createwithtrip #myanmar #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

Along the meandering canals, you arrive at this weir. Lots of boats, lots of friendly stall owners and a magical long walk in a columned corridor leads you to an historical gathering of stuppas.. Late afternoon is best for light,and just wander freely amongst newly restored,and 12 th century stuppas,build in Bagan time. Low key, atmospheric, and don't miss walking along the tree lined river with Bamboo groves along side. Village life in the water is very apparent, nothing to do with tourists. #GiveThanks

The beauty of Yindeng is that after climbing to the top of the mountain, he looks at the vast expanse of the vast plain; the beauty of Yinden lies in the ancient stupa that stands quietly. Walking into Indun is like entering a quiet world that is different. The Indun pagoda group surrounded by mountains, the towers are scattered, and the densely packed space is located in this space. The children sat under the pagoda, bathed in the sun, and the warmth was great.

Getting There - take a flight to yangon, then take a domestic flight to Inle Attractions - inle lake, restaurants/shops by the lake Hotels - novotel, KML inle, Villa Inle Boutique Food & Restaurants - Inle Myanmar Restaurant. Win Myanmar Shopping - there's a small local shop close to Novotel Inle

OMG! Novotel…Inle Lake

Novotel Inle Lake Hotel is the best hotel to stay in when you visit Inle Lake. Not only is Inle Lake a special gem in Myanmar, but staying at Novotel made the experience even better. The service was impeccable from the moment we pulled up to the hotel until we checked out. Unlike most hotels in Myanmar, the beds were HEAVENLY. The shower was wonderful and the large soaking tub made it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience. Novotel spoiled us and I don’t plan to stay anywhere else but there when I visit again. #freehotelstay #localguides #Novotel #myanmar #MyanmarTravel #缅甸 #GirlsThatTravel #southeastasiatravel
