In the heart of Myanmar, the Intha people of Lake Inle live on water — literally.
From floating farms anchored by water hyacinths to schools built on stilts, every aspect of life here adapts to the lake.

Generations of farmers have perfected a unique leg-rowing technique and an ingenious floating agriculture system.

Amid slow modernization, their traditions endure, shaped by patience, community, and respect for nature.
A portrait of one of Southeast Asia’s most extraordinary ways of life — fragile yet timeless.
