We had great time at the Dee Doke waterfalls (both the 5th floor and the 10th floor) and we really enjoyed it. What we enjoyed in particular apart from the fact the water was great to swim, is about the fact that the place is not very touristic. There were just 4 or 5 other tourists when we visited and a couple of locals. The way leading to the waterfalls is unfortunately surrounded by trashes at times but the water itself was super clean. We were lucky to book a full day with a private driver called Moe Lwin (@MoeLwinTaxiMandalay). Moe is a very friendly guy with a great sense of humour and he really went above and beyond to make our day one to never forget. I would highly recommend to contact him if you’d like to visit Mandalay. You can contact him via Instagram (johncarrotaxi) or by WhatsApp at +95 9777764668)

This copy of London's Kew Gardens was built in 1917.

A historic and long established botanical garden in huge grounds. The butterfly house, the orchid collection and the entire gardens are beautiful and so peaceful to walk around in. The black swans on the lake are mesmerising and as the place was designed by the same person who created London's Kew Gardens, it feels like 'home'in the heat! Don't miss it!

If you view the falls from the top you will pay 1000 kyat to park your vehicle. You can view the falls from several overlooks, each separated by 25 to 50 steps. To view the falls from the bottom you take a different road and hike down the mountain for about 45 minutes. There is a temple, in several water pools, at the bottom of the falls. It is exciting for the children as the mist flows over them. Well worth the hike if your children are energetic

I did not expect so many different cave chambers! The walking path goes on and on from one to the next, with interesting lighting displays and many diverse grottos with different style Buddha images and mini pagodas and fake trees

Hiked up to the main waterfall with a beautiful pool; cold, but not too cold. Some people, but not too crowded. Beautiful. To get there, go past a handful of huts, and it will fork to the left at a ‘Y’ in the trail. Hike back down to the previous ‘Y’ in the trail to the Fountainhead trail sign which goes to the left if you’re walking up the trail. There are two entrances to the pools below. The first is a beautifully steep staircase/steps with a curved bamboo entrance. If you go a little further up that trail, the 2nd steps take you to the upper pool where the small Dee Dote waterfall is. Only saw one other tourist while there. Two families live/work at these ponds. The husband at the 2nd (upper) waterfall hut was not friendly, but he sold food and drinks. Hopefully he was just having a bad day. He and his wife had two very young kids and a 2 month old baby (February 8, 2019). If you don’t order something, it’s a 1000 kyats per person to sit at his low plastic tables under his bamboo hut seating areas. Wish we could have stayed here longer. The lower pool by the parking area is primarily for the locals, some of whom bathe there. That water is not very pretty and is rather stagnant.

This extinct volcano contains the shrine of the Mahagiri Nat spirits.
Reviewed By 968marijed - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Before climbing it, the rock seems higher than it is. If you go up, make sure to bring about 5-7 small notes (500 kyat) to tip the people that clean the stairs on the way. The temple is not super impressive but the view is amazing.

The waterfall is very nice , big; very beautiful landscape . Walking to the waterfall takes 10 minutes. Falls along the way down the road to pass through, but are only used as a pavement, Falls able to regain one's breath away, in some places you can skid elderly with knee pain who were not good. If you want to see the waterfall please visit this nice view the one.
