How are the conditions at Inle Lake? My boyfriend and I have been planning a trip to Myanmar in October. We have really wanted to visit Inle, but have heard that the lake is very dry and conditions are not good. Has anyone been there recently? What are conditions like? Is it worth going?

Thanks,

Shelley

Hello Shelly,

I have seen lately your message or question right now.

I am a resident of near Inlay lake. Now I have been abroad already 5 years.

Although the Inlay lake become dried up especially last summer, the Octber festival might be pretty nice becaue of the somewhat raise water level in rainy season with the unique tradition of Inlay lake and the heartful smile of local people.

Thanks for interested in visiting our land.

I returned fron Myanmar on saturday Oct 2, while i was there i travelled to Inle Lake and spent 4 nights at the Shwe Inn Tha Hotel (only floating hotel on the lake with a pool) the staff and facilities were great a really lovely hotel with bungalow style accommodation, the lake itself was a spectacular place to visit surrounded by the hills makes it a really relaxing place to be.

we flew into Heho from Bagan and caught a 1hr taxi ride to Inle jetty for $25USD then a 1hour boat ride to hotel for $11USD.

We had a great time even though it was "rainy season" (and it did rain while we were there) The weather was warm to hot during the day and cool at night but we would go again tommorrow if not for work. The lake had not dried up but there were notices in the room to be water wise.

I hope you find this information helpful, enjoy your trip.
