Inlay Lake Wetland Sanctuary, Protected wetland sanctuary in Nyaungshwe Township, Myanmar.

The Inlay Lake Wetland Sanctuary extends across 533 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, ranging from low-lying wetlands to elevated forest zones.

The Myanmar Forest Department established this conservation area in 1985 to protect migratory birds and their natural habitats within the Shan State region.

Local communities maintain traditional fishing and agricultural methods within designated zones of the sanctuary, cultivating produce on floating gardens across the lake.

Visitors can reach the sanctuary through Heho Airport, located one hour away by car, with numerous accommodations available in the nearby town of Nyaungshwe.

The sanctuary contains 255 woodland bird species, 184 orchid varieties, and serves as a potential nesting location for the endangered sarus crane.
