Natural and unpolluted, with fantastic mountainous scenery, Inle Lake stands out as the second largest lake in Myanmar, and also the country's highest altitude lake. Enjoy a spectacular leg-rowing performance by native lake-dwellers or fishermen casting their cone-shaped nets, or take your pick of the wares at a daily floating market. Standing at an altitude of 880 m (2,900 ft), this freshwater lake covers some 116 sq km (45 sq mi), providing a home to nine endemic species of fish and over 20 species of snails. This popular tourist spot offers classy hotels, but also low-budget, family-run accommodation. You can rent a bike, visit a massage parlor, or enjoy Shan State cuisine, a favorite in the country. Use our Nyaungshwe trip planner to add Inle Lake and other attractions to your Nyaungshwe vacation plans.

We loved our boat trip all day around the lake. Many of the places were one time visits, but glad I did them at least once. Silversmiths, weaving, silk, etc.

Waterlevel was very low. Very few tourists and we liked it. Good to know and learn how people gardening with their floating garden. Nice

It's a lake and lakes are nice, but there is nothing spectacular that set this lake apart from others. Of course, if you are in Nyaungshwe you should visit Inle lake, but I would not do a full day...

Definitely worth a visit. Plan for the whole day and go early. You might want ear plugs as the noise from the boat engine is rather loud. We couldn't have asked for more.

There are some lakes in Myanmar but Inle Lake is the second largest lake in Myanmar and is located at the heart of the country. In western Shan State, you will find picturesque Inle Lake, many fishermen around with small boats, famous for its floating villages and gardens and the unique way of life of the local Intha people, with their living communities based entirely on the water. Some monasteries and pagodas there. You can have local traditional food at a cheap rate. Overall the vast Inle Lake is one of Myanmar's most impressive natural treasures and biggest tourist draws.
