If you have a free day in Da Lat and want to reconnect with wild nature, here are the top 3 waterfalls I highly recommend:
1. Pongour Waterfall – “The First Waterfall of the Southern Sky”
About 50km south of Da Lat city (in Duc Trong District).
Known for its unique terraced rock formation – 7 levels of cascading water over 100 meters wide and 40 meters high.
Tip: Best time to visit is during the rainy season (July–October) when the water flow is powerful and the view is truly majestic.
2. Datanla Waterfall – Adventure just outside the city
Only ~5km from the city center.
Highlights: Forest roller coaster, ziplining, and canyoning (waterfall abseiling).
Great for families and groups of friends who love a mix of nature and light adventure.
3. Elephant Waterfall (Thac Voi) – Raw power and mystery
Located in Nam Ban village, Lam Ha district (~25km from Da Lat).
Named after the giant rocks shaped like elephants. The waterfall drops from ~30 meters high with thunderous force.
Adventurous travelers can hike and rope their way down to the base – not easy, but totally worth it!
