It is the largest inland lake in ASEAN and the third largest lake in the world.

Indawgyi Lake Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1999 to protect local waterfowl and their habitats and neighboring catchment areas.

Considered a birdwatcher’s paradise, the sanctuary is home to hundreds of ruddy shelduck, bar-headed goose, tufted duck, openbill, common crane, and brown-headed gull.

Rare species include the red-crested pochard, grey-headed lapwing, sarus crane, lesser adjutant, black-necked stork, woolly-necked stork, white-rumped vulture, slender-billed  vulture, blue-bearded bee-eater and brahminy kite.
