Description
Inle Lake is the second-largest fresh-water lake and is located 900-meter above sea level. The 22-km long and 11-km wide lake is shallow towards the Southern end and is perched between two mountain ranges in the Shan state. Be smitten by awe-inspiring views of its scenic beauty in this online experience. Along with your expert local guide, you will observe how the locals rely on the floating gardens for cultivation and their livelihood; these gardens lie on the surface and rise in sync with the water level, making them resistant to flooding. You will catch sight of the houses standing on bamboo slits as well as the unique fishing techniques used by the locals. All through the tour, a skilled lake dweller will row your canoe with a unique one leg rowing technique, yet another special feature of this area. Throughout this experience, your guide will also help you explore the local life, culture and farming practices, and share many other interesting facts and trivia to keep you entertained and well-informed.
