Inle Lake photo report


Inle Lake in east Myanmar (Burma) is very different from the rest of Myanmar. This has to do with the people who are mostly minority. The area has had its share of problems over the years. The Shan and Karen states have been fighting the military for years. It seems to be more quiet nowadays.


Bike & Trek The Shan Hills
7 Days / 6 Nights

Explore the Shan hills and Inle Lake by bicycle and trekking and visit Inle Lake, Pindaya and more.

 

 

The climate is also different from other areas in Myanmar. It's cooler and in the wet season traveling here can be a serious problem. Here's a selection of photos I made in the area, not just on the lake but also in some of the surrounding villages
