Heho Airport
Heho Airport, coded HEH, is the main air gateway to Myanmar's Shan State and specifically to Inle Lake, one of the country's most visited tourist destinations known for its floating gardens and stilt-house villages. The airport is small but sees steady traffic from domestic carriers connecting travelers arriving in Yangon or Mandalay onward to the highland region. HEH's elevation and surrounding mountainous terrain give the area a notably cooler climate than much of lowland Myanmar, which is part of its appeal. The airport itself has a simple single-runway layout typical of regional Myanmar airports built primarily to serve tourism rather than heavy commercial cargo or business traffic.
