Around Maymyo (Pyinoolwin)

Anisakhan Fall (Dattawjient Fall) This spectacular fall is located near the Anisakhan Village, about 9 km south of Pyinoolwin, off the Mandalay – Maymyo (Pyinoolwin) Road. From the village of Anisakhan on the main road, turn right at the train station and continue for another 2 km to reach the car parking area. From here, it is a 45 minute descent on foot through a river gorge to reach the fall. The fall consists of five steps; the third is quite impressive. You can get a regular pickup bus from Maymyo (Pyinoolwin) to Anisakhan village. Better idea is to hire a taxi to the fall (up to the parking area). There is an entrance fee to the fall for foreigners. Pwe Kauk Fall (Hampshire Fall) Located 8 miles north east of Maymyo (Pyinoolwin), off the Mandalay – Lashio Road, Pwe Kauk Fall is an ideal place for picnics. Locally known as BE Fall, it was called Hampshire Fall during the British colonial period. The fall itself is not much spectacular but the location is quite peaceful, making it a favorite spot for picnic among the locals. You can swim in the upper part of the fall but the lower part [...]

Kandawgyi Lake and Garden The first place you must visit is the Kandawgyi Lake and the Botanical Garden (the lake is inside the garden). This garden is reputed to be the most beautiful garden in Myanmar. Currently renovated to an international standard, the garden was renamed National Kandawgyi Garden, and run by the Woodlands Group of Singapore. The garden was first started by British botanist Mr. Roger in 1915 who collected local plants and trees and cultivated them on a 30 acre land at the present Kandawgyi Garden. In 1919, the government gave official sanction to the garden with 170 acres of land and 70 acres of water. The Maymyo (Pyinoolwin) Botanical Garden was laid out in the design of Kew Gardens in England. In 1920, the garden was declared a forest reserved and placed under the department of forestry. 4840 trees, mostly pine trees, were planted in the garden, together with 575 different floral species. The Maymyo Botanical Garden (National Kandawgyi Garden) currently features the rich life of 482 local and foreign trees (including ginkgo which is extinct elsewhere) and more than 250 species of orchids around Myanmar. There is also a ten storey watch tower which you can [...]
