Boatride, Hotsprings and a Vineyard at Inle Lake
Almost everyone visiting Myanmar makes his way to Inle Lake at some point – and this happens for a reason! The 22km long and 11km wide lake and its surroundings have so much to see that you could easily spend a week here! more „Boatride, Hotsprings and a Vineyard at Inle Lake“
