Top 3 Most Beautiful Waterfalls in Da Lat You Shouldn’t Miss


Introduction


Da Lat is often known for its romantic vibe, colorful flowers, and cool mountain air – but did you know it’s also home to some of Vietnam’s most beautiful waterfalls?
If you’re craving a break from the city and want to dive into the wild side of Da Lat, here are the top 3 waterfalls you simply can’t miss.

Let’s take a ride into the heart of nature! 


1. Pongour Waterfall – The First Waterfall of the Southern Sky


• Location: ~50km south of Da Lat (Duc Trong District)
 • Highlights:
 • Majestic 7-level terraced waterfall
 • Over 100m wide, 40m high
 • Surrounded by lush green forests
 • Best time to visit: July to October (rainy season for full water flow)
 • Why we love it: It’s peaceful, scenic, and has a sacred vibe. A perfect place for photos, picnics, or just taking in the sound of rushing water.

Fun fact: Pongour is one of the rare multi-level waterfalls in Vietnam.

2. Datanla Waterfall – Thrill and Fun Near the City


 • Location: Just ~5km from Da Lat city center
 • Highlights:
 • Adventure activities: alpine coaster, zipline, canyoning
 • Well-developed tourist area but still full of natural charm
 • Why we love it: You don’t need to travel far to feel the adrenaline!
Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family – Datanla offers something for everyone.

Tip: Try the canyoning tour if you’re into real adventure – it’s one of the best in Vietnam!


3. Elephant Waterfall – Power and Mystery in the Jungle


 • Location: Nam Ban village, Lam Ha district (~25km from Da Lat)
 • Highlights:
 • 30-meter high waterfall crashing down over giant elephant-shaped rocks
 • Raw, untamed energy – surrounded by thick forest
