Inle Lake (Nyaungshwe)
The second largest natural lake in Myanmar located in the middle of the greatest depression in Nyaungshwe valley between the two parallel mountain ranges running north to south in the southern Shan State. This vast picturesque lake, 900 meters above sea-level is one of the main tourist attractions in Myanmar. The lake, 22 km long and 10 km across, has a population of some 150,000, many of whom live on floating islands of vegetation. Inle Lake, natural and unpolluted, is famous for its scenic beauty and the unique leg-rowing of the Inthas, the native lake dwellers.
The place we cannot miss in our itinerary is the scenic beauty of Inle Lake so at least a one-night or two nights stay is strongly recommended. A second night is required for those wishing to visit Pindaya Cave, which is also memorable. For those with time, extra nights allow for visits and trek to Inle Lake and Kalaw surrounding.

At an altitude of 1320 m it is also pleasantly cool and a good place for hiking, bamboo groves and rugged mountain scenery. You can make interesting excursions around Kalaw. The main attraction of Kalaw is the town itself, with its mock-tutor colonial bungalows, its ethnic mix of people, and it’s setting within trekking distance of many ethnic minority villages.
