Haipa Waterfall (Burmese: ဟိုက်ပါရေတံခွန်) is a waterfall located in the village of Haipa, in Mong Hsu Township, southern Shan State, Myanmar.[1][2][3] The waterfall is characterized by a multi-tiered formation, typically featuring between seven and nine distinct levels.[4] Beginning at Nam Pan Creek, the waterfall's cascades form pools at various levels.[4][5] These pools exhibit a seasonal color variation: during the summer months, the water appears turquoise, while with the onset of the monsoon season, the color shifts to a golden yellow.[4] The natural attraction attracts a substantial number of visitors, with hundreds attending on weekends and public holidays.[4] During peak periods, including the summer holidays and the Thingyan (Burmese New Year) festival, visitor counts can extend into the thousands.[4]
Access
[edit]Access is typically restricted from May through the rainy season due to increased water flow and associated safety considerations.[4]
The waterfall can be accessed by road, via the Taunggyi-Phakhi, Taunggyi-Keng Tung, and Taunggyi-Kali roads.[1]
