Inle Lake Holidays


asia
Inle Lake is the second largest lake in Burma where Intha people live in either villages at the water’s edge or out on the lake in stilted houses with floating gardens.

The lake is best explored by small motorised boat where you can view the traditional and unique leg-rowing techniques of the local oarsmen and visit one of the markets which rotate each day between the villages.

Trailfinders offers a range of Inle Lake holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Burma with your own private driver and guide, on a cycling holiday or a sociable small group tour – they are the perfect people to ask.
