The people of Inle Lake, called Intha, is the main focus on the our photographic trip, in particular the fisherman – famous for their leg rowing, something I wish to try before the trip, something I would love to try during the trip, and something I ended up not doing in the trip. Leave a reason to go back, and hope it will still be there.
Inle Lake has shrunk 23.4% from 69.10km2 to 46.69km2 between 1,935 to 2,000 due to increased population and rapid growth in both agriculture and tourism.
It is not a unique problem of Myanmar, in fact, lakes shrunk or disappear happened many places in the world, some were the result of man, some were nature. And it is still happening. Just a proof that nature is beyond resistible.
