Tags: ,

Inle Lake is one of the most spectacular highlights in Myanmar. It's located in the central highlands in Shan state at the elevation of ~900m above sea level. The estimated surface area of this fresh water lake is about 116 km2. There are about 70,000 local people living at more than 200 villages on or around the lake.
The lake's most unusual feature is its extraordinary "one-legged fishermen", who have developed an original, eccentric method of rowing with one leg, leaving their hands free to drop their tall conical nets over passing fish, which they can spot in the shallow lake.
