Tad Fane Resort


This jungle lodge has a one-of-a kind location, overlooking Tat Fan and nestled in a cool forest setting. The rustic duplex cottages let you enjoy the nightly symphony of forest sounds and get up to see the falls before the crowds arrive. A few of the cottages at the back even have partial waterfall views.

A big attraction here is the zip line, but the resort also offers half-day (US$10) and one-day (US$15) guided forest walks to Tat Nyeaung, among other places.
