Video: Exploring Inle Lake, Myanmar

At the end of our three-day, two-night trek from Kalaw, we ended at Inle Lake. It is a beautiful freshwater lake, surrounded by floating gardens and filled with delicious fish (you can see how the fishermen use their legs to paddle or row). A truly beautiful place in Myanmar.

Everything about Myanmar was amazing. However, our choice to take a 3-day, 2-night trek (hike) from Kalaw to Inle Lake, Myanmar was a particular highlight. Finding the right guide was quite an adventure , but once we settle on a company and group to go with; it was great time. The people we met along the Read Post
