Lake Inlé

3 Nights from $1020 / £600

Extend your cruise with a visit to Lake Inlé, a photographer's paradise and a wonderful experience. Nearly 100km long and 5 km wide, the lake has more than 200 villages on or around it, constructed on stilts over the water while floating gardens have been cultivated out of water hyacinth and silt and float on the surface.


Most of the inhabitants are Intha people, Intha meaning "sons of the lake". The water is crystal clear and a pictorial paradise for the professional and amateur photographer alike.

Below is listed our suggested itinerary of three nights at the end of your cruise, however, we can tailor make any journey, simply contact us and we will be delighted to help.
