Lake Best Western Hotels & Resorts has arrived in one of Southeast Asia’s most alluring and enchanting destinations in Myanmar’s Shan State.
As far as lakes go, Inle Lake is one of Myanmar’s – if not Southeast Asia’s – most anticipated destinations in recent years and the hype surrounding it is definitely justified. Inle Lake has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and is one of Asia’s and the world’s, most exciting tourism destinations as travellers start to rediscover the beauty of Myanmar, a country that had been plagued by political unrest for so long.
Inle Lake is a serene one that is fringed by marshes and floating gardens and it breathes with culture from the Buddhist temples by the water’s edge and Intha fishermen that make a living within the lake. Surrounding the scenic region are also hills that are home to Burmese minorities who descend from their villages to the bustling markets near Inle Lake.
