Life on the Water

About Inle Lake

Inle Lake is a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Shan State. The lake is famous for its floating villages, gardens, and the unique rowing style of the Intha people who paddle standing up. Life revolves around the lake, with communities living in stilted houses over the water and cultivating hydroponic gardens that float on the surface.
