4. A timeless fisherman, rowing one-legged across the
placid water at dawn. A floating vegetable garden,
fertilized with decaying plant matter. The stilted wooden
homes of waterfront villagers. A destination as lost in
time as in the vast,unexplored realm of one of the world’s
most compelling destinations.This is Inle Lake.
Together with Bagan, and two of the Far East’s most
exotic cities at Yangon and Mandalay, Inle Lake beats at
the heart of every traveler’s dream of Myanmar. As the
country’ssecondlargestlake,pooledatalofty800meters
above seal level, Inle is renowned for its waterborne life.
Its stilted homes perch precariously above water levels
that rise and fall with the seasons.
The lake’s channels route splinter boats to some of Asia’s
most fascinating markets, to pagodas of distinctive
grandeur, to a remarkable collection of 1,000 ruined
stupas at Inthein Village that date back to the 13th
Century, and to a very singular house in the middle of the
lake where locals are breeding Siamese cats.
Local industry abounds, from shops rolling cigars, to boat
yards, and handicraft garments. Few destinations in the
world today preserve the fabric of life as life was lived
decades ago.Inle Lake is one of those places.

5. A destination as removed from the wider
world as Inle Lake demands a resort
where detachment is a priority. Where
simplicity is the essence of elegance. Where
contemplation,not bustle,reigns supreme.
At the Sanctum Inle Resort, arches and
cloisters reference the monastic life,
opening the doors on a more contemplative
experience of travel. With a design that
celebrates the fundamentals, that merges
thespiritualandthesecular,thepastandthe
present,EastandWest,thehotelisagateway
to one of the Asia's most fascinating locales.
Stay in one of three classes of rooms and
suites; eat from menus that span Eurasia;
and explore the wonders of Inle, and the
quietude cultivated by one of Myanmar's
most ambitious new hotels.

the lake. Vacationers have a tendency to to
explore on motorised boats but most locals
boat thrust by a single wooden paddle. The
unique technique of leg rowing where one
leg is wrapped around the paddle to drive
the blade through the water in a sea serpent
movement is exceptional.
