Called Hampshire Falls in British times, Pwe Kauk is a fan of small weirs and splash pools rather than a dramatic waterfall but the forest glade setting is pretty. A series of little wooden bridges, souvenir stands and children’s play areas add to the attraction for local families but undermine any sense of natural serenity. It’s a two-minute drive down a steep, easily missed lane excursion off the Hsipaw road that starts directly north of Aung Htu Kan Tha Paya.
