Rih Dil — Attraction in Falam District

Rih Dïl, also known as Rih Li is a beautiful heart-shaped lake that is located 22 km inside Myanmar. The lake is approximately one mile in length and half a mile in width. This lake is believed to be the passage to heaven for the souls of the dead. A strange feature of the lake is that its South West floor happens to be deeper than the north-west and that it gets deep abruptly immediately after the edge of the water.

There are several folktales which surround this amazing and picturesque lake. Ril Dïl is a rarely visited place even today because of the difficulty to access this region. Yet, public bus facility has been provided from the Indo-Myanmar gate which will take you to the Rih. One can also get permission to visit the lake from the Deputy Commissioner's office...

From here, you will have great view to the lake. Cannot ignore this place when you visit Rih Lake. In fact, the way to get here is really difficult because the roads are so bad, dirty and can make you so tired. Some Indians are more easy to go here by passing the border through the bridge connecting two countries. But if you are Burmese or foreigner living in other Regions or States in Myanmar, it will be the big trip to save your footage at this beautiful place. Army control the highest position to have the best view looking down the lake. You can ask them to get in the compound, but depend on your possibility in convincing...
