Forgotten hill station beckons tourists

But there is a forgotten hilltop town much closer to Yangon. Named Than Daung, it was once used by the British as a popular summertime retreat during the colonial era but has since fallen into disuse and is now untouched by tourists.

Than Daung can actually be divided into two areas. Than Daung Gyi is located in Kayin State, 38 miles east of Taungoo at an elevation of 4050 feet above sea level, in an area characterised by lush green hills and extensive vistas.

Getting there requires passing through Than Daung Lay, just 13 miles and 45 minutes by car from Taungoo. Pathi Waterfall is one of the attractions in this heavily forested area.
