estimated surface area of 72 km² and one at the highest height with 920 m
a.s.l. During the dry season (winter) the average depth is 221 cm, with the
deepest point 390 cm; but during the rainy season (summer) the height can
grow by 160 cm. It is also one of the most spectacular and characteristic
destinations in all of Myanmar. It is a must for tourists who come to this country
and want to live a few days in an extraordinary environment in contact with
local traditions. Inle Lake is mainly populated by Intha ethnicity, but also from
others such as the Shan, Taungyo, Pa-O, Danu, Kayah, Danau and Bamar that create a very interesting
folkloristic mix.

inhabitants:

form. It has been reported that some "gold" was removed at times to reduce its
bulk. Gold leaf on the images of the Buddha and his teachings, the ritual of
