In the northern Kachin state is the biggest lake of Myanmar called Indawgyi measuring 22 km in length and 11 km in breath. There are over thirty villages around the lake. The villagers earn their living on fishing, farming and looking for jade in the surrounding jade mines. Being inaccessible for long to tourists, Indawgyi is unspoiled and close to the nature.

The lake is beautified by the Shwe-myint-zu Pagoda on the bank with blue hazy mountains, clear sky and swimming water birds. It can be reached by coach from Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State. Have a boat ride on the aesthetic lake and walk around in the local villages when arrive in Indawgyi will give one a feeling of matchless joyfulness.
