Inle Lake

Inle Lake is an incredible place; an expansive water body high above sea level, where pagoda spires gleam in the sunlight, Burmese fishermen row boats with one leg, local people grow fruits and vegetables in floating gardens and migratory birds amass in their thousands in the winter months.

The train journey from Kalaw to Shwenyaung (nearest railhead to Inle Lake) was spectacularly scenic and picturesque.
