Only a quarter mile up, but it is steep. Well worth it! The wind on top was extreme. Phenomenal views of true park! You get hike up a cinder come, that in and of itself is awesome!
Inle is a beautiful area, rural and natural. There are locals fishing in traditional ways on the lake, boats have nice long shape but it can get crowded in main town. If you explore around the lake it will become less visited and quieter.
