Anisakan Waterfalls, Myanmar

Myanmar, sometimes known as the nation of a thousand temples, is still an undiscovered travel gem. However, Anisakan Falls will change you. You will be greeted by sparkling water that descends into magnificent blue pools. You might even have the falls to yourself if you leave early enough. Take a soothing plunge in the pool after the strenuous hike, then climb back up.

One of the off-the-beaten-path things to do in the area of Mandalay, Myanmar, is the Anisakan Falls. The journey down a steep road to get to the waterfall takes around an hour after arriving at the location, which is about one and a half hours from the city. But in the end, what makes this waterfall such a remarkable experience is the amount of effort that must be expended to get here.
