9. Southern Inle Lake, Myanmar:Inle Lake itself definitely shows up on the tourist radar, but most people stick to the boat tours that putter around the northern reaches of the lake. Find a boatman who is willing to take you as far south as you can go, the closer you get to the “Permit Zone” the fewer travellers you will see and the more great experiences you will have. It may cost you a few extra bucks to get down there, but it’s so worth it. The villages are untouched and the monestaries are empty and beautiful.
