I honestly lost count of how many individual streams flowed into the catchment below it’s a broad, dramatic scene that’s hard to capture in just one photo.

You can reach the base of the falls by walking down a lengthy but scenic staircase, or catch a motorbike ride for just 15,000 VND. Once down there, the panoramic view is rewarding, especially with the lush greenery surrounding the area and the thunderous sound of the water.
