Myanmar is one of those places with infinite natural beauty, and you’ll be especially impressed by it if you have a special place in your heart for lakes. This Asian country is home to quite a few, and these three happen to be amongst its biggest natural wonders.
Indawgyi Lake
One of the largest inland lakes in all of Southeast Asia, Indawgyi is truly a sight to behold. After visiting Indawgyi Pagoda on its premises, make sure to take a moment to explore the rich flora and fauna of the lake and the local culture in many tiny villages that surround it.
Inle Lake
One of Myanmar’s biggest natural wonders, Inle Lake became a popular tourist attraction for a reason. The lake is surrounded by many floating villages that you can explore by boat. The surface of the lake is covered by floating plants and its biodiversity doesn’t end there—the lake is also home to many species of fish, snails, and other aquatic animals.
Kandawgyi Lake
Located in close proximity to Myanmar’s capital of Yangon, Kandawgyi offers easier access than any other lake in this country. Unlike the previous two lakes, this one is artificial and gets most of its water from Inya Lake, but it’s still worth the visit for the stunning views at the Shwedagon Pagoda that it has in store.
