Heho
Heho is an airport, not a destination: fly in, take a taxi 45 min to Inle Lake, and sleep at the lake unless your onward flight forces a night here.
Heho is a small Shan State town centred on its domestic airport. It serves mainly as the entry point for Inle Lake tours. One night is enough to catch a flight, transfer to the lake, and rest before heading out.
