The Northern mountainous region with its overlapping mountain ranges like natural walls, vast green forests and winding rivers, has created a beautiful natural picture. Among them, Ban Gioc waterfall is famous for its wild, magical beauty, like a watercolor painting in the heart of the Cao Bang wilderness.
Recently, a representative of the People's Committee of Dam Thuy Commune, Trung Khanh District, said that heavy rains caused floods in the upper reaches of the Quay Son River, causing the water level in the lower reaches of Ban Gioc Waterfall to rise, causing widespread flooding. The Ban Gioc Waterfall Management Board has placed warning signs, not allowing people and tourists to approach the waterfall to ensure safety.

However, in recent days it has been the rainy season in the northern mountainous region, so the natural landscape of Cao Bang, including Ban Gioc waterfall, has been greatly affected.
Although it is the rainy season, the attraction of Ban Gioc waterfall has not diminished. Tours to explore Cao Bang, especially those with Ban Gioc waterfall as the destination, are still being sold vigorously and attracting a large number of tourists, including many foreigners and tourists from the South. These tourists love the beautiful scenery in the northern mountains so they are "not afraid of the rain and wind".

To ensure a pleasant visit to Ban Gioc Waterfall, before embarking on your itinerary, visitors need to monitor the weather forecast and strictly follow the regulations of the Ban Gioc Waterfall Management Board to ensure safety.
In fact, the rainy season in Cao Bang usually lasts from June to October, so it is not unusual for Ban Gioc waterfall to be "submerged" by floodwaters at this time. Tour companies that take visitors to visit must inform their guests in advance about the current situation at the waterfall.
In addition to Ban Gioc waterfall, tourists can still visit many other tourist attractions in Cao Bang, such as: Nguom Ngao Cave, grassy hills, Mat Than mountain, traditional craft villages near Ban Gioc waterfall... Tourists coming to Cao Bang at this time should be careful to avoid traveling on roads prone to landslides, and not approach areas where the management board has posted danger warning signs...
Ban Gioc Waterfall is known as the most beautiful waterfall in the world.
