How to get to the DAT TAW Gyaint Wasserfall (Anisakan Falls)

The waterfall dat Taw Gyaint is located on the street from Mandalay to Pyin oo Lwin near a small village called Anesakhan. As usual with translations from Burmese to English, there are a variety of ways to spell these names with the English alphabet. In order to reflect his home village, this waterfall has earned a more frequently used nickname: Anisakan Falls. However, you will find that the waterfall somehow got a different spelling.

Regardless of this, it is easy to find this waterfall if you connect the following: Dat Taw Gyaint Waterfall in Google Maps. Or just follow the instructions for the PIN below.

Rent a motorcycle

The region between Mandalay and Pyin oo Lwin is best explored by renting a motorcycle and driving here. You can rent a motorcycle in Myanmar by talking to your hotel staff or owner. You will usually point them in the right direction.

The waterfall Anesakhan and Dat Taw Gyaint is only 9 km south of Pyin oo Lwin on Highway 3 (road to Mandalay). Therefore, it is the perfect short half -day trip from Pyin oo Lwin. The journey is fairly simple, along a single -lane motorway with little traffic.

For those who come from Mandalay, they have a much longer speed of 1.5 hours. However, if you are confident, I recommend you to face the challenge of seeing this epic waterfall.

For adventurous readers who are looking for a full -day waterfall trip, I would recommend visiting the Dee Doke waterfall. You can stuff both waterfalls on a big day trip by Pyin oo Lwin.

Waterfall hike

After you have parked your motorcycle or put it off in the top parking lot, it is a 40-minute hike downhill to the foot of the gorge to reach the waterfall. Apparently there are a few small food stalls and dealers who sell snacks and water on the way. However, they were abandoned when I visited them in the hot dry season.

The path down to the Dat Taw Gyaint waterfall is clearly marked and winds down the steep cliff before finally reaching the waterfall.

The hike is not too exhausting, but be careful to save some strength when you get back back!

What to expect at the waterfall dat Taw Gyaint

The DAT TAW Gyaint Waterfall was one of the best highlights of my trip to Myanmar. Three beautiful cascades fall down the limestone cliffs and form a large waterfall. Below are a deep swimming pool with milky, turquoise -colored water, comparable to the famous Kawasan Falls in the Philippines.

Next to the swimming pool is a large rock that is wonderfully suitable for sunbathing. The water in the waterfall basin is deep enough for swimming, but not deep enough for cliff jumps.
