Pindale

Pindale lies in the dry country of central Burma, north of Meiktila and west of the irrigated Kyaukse plain. The surrounding land is part of the interior basin between the Irrawaddy and the Shan hills. Villages and fields occupy the open plain, where seasonal rains contrast with long dry months. To the south, Meiktila Lake has long supplied water to the surrounding country; farther northeast the old settlements of Pinle and Myinsaing belonged to another of Upper Burma's cultivated districts.
