Inle Lake

Exploring the untold stories of diverse cultures along Inle Lake - SilverKris

"A narrow, high‑altitude lake set within an amphitheatre of dark green hills, stretching roughly 17 km north to south and feeding a chain of southern lakes and rivers; it is famed for its floating gardens—patches of dredged algae where Intha farmers grow tomatoes and other produce on bamboo supports—and for stilted houses, fishing communities that harvest carp and catfish with bamboo‑slung nets, and motorised wooden canoes that are the primary means of transport. The lake shapes local livelihoods, scenery and the distinctive Intha water‑based culture." - Ben Dunant
