  • Inlay fall draws summer visitors

INLAY fall in Nyaungshwe, a popular summer destination, is attracting a lot of visitors from Yangon, Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw, said Ko Jimmy from the Kalaw Car Rental & Photo Free Service.
The route to the waterfall from Kalaw is about three or four furlongs from the arrow shown on the road from the Bawasansara Bridge to the Khaung Taing hot spring.
“As this is a new destination near Kalaw, many people are interested to visit. People from Yangon, Mandalay, and Nay Pyi Taw came. Yangon tops among them. It is a mountain waterfall.
Sometimes, you can see groups of monkeys. To reach the waterfall, you have to walk for five to ten minutes and climb up. The bottom is a small stream, which is convenient for bathing. Now, people come to the fall to escape the heat. It is more beautiful during the rainy season, and it is now still beautiful, as the water has not decreased much.” he said.
Near the waterfall, there is a natural forest, a suspension bridge, bamboo bridges for taking photos and small huts to relax. The parking fee in the fall is K1,000 and the entrance fee is K1,000 per person.
The waterfall was opened last year and has become more popular this year due to social media posts, attracting more visitors to escape the heat. — MT/ZN
