About Inle Location
This vast lake is located in the heart of
Shan State which shares borders with Thai &
Laos. And it climbs up to over 900 metres above
sea level and outrageously beautiful. Inle Lake
is located in the mountains so it is cooler than
other areas. More than 30 hill tribes are living
in the mountains.
This vast picturesque lake, 900 metres 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.
