Nestled in the green mountain ranges of the Shan State plateau, this freshwater paradise has captivated the minds of travellers for centuries. Covering an estimated surface area of 116 square kilometres, it is the second largest lake in the country, and at 900 metres above sea level, it is also one of the highest.
