Prenn Waterfall

Address: Lien Khuong - Prenn Highway, Ward 3, Da Lat City, Lam Dong Province

When visiting Elephant Waterfall, especially the Bat Cave located in the middle of the waterfall, visitors shouldn't miss it. To get from Elephant Waterfall down to Bat Cave, you have to climb 145 winding steps, sometimes made of stone carved into the cliff face, sometimes of wooden bridges. The path is quite slippery, and in some places there is red soil; the iron handrails are broken in places, so visitors must be very careful when approaching the waterfall.

Pa Sy Waterfall

Address: within the Mang Den National Ecotourism Area, Kon Plong District, Kon Tum Province

While not as majestic or towering as other waterfalls in the Central Highlands, Pa Sy possesses a unique characteristic. The waterfall is formed from the confluence of three of the largest streams in Mang Den. This area is associated with the local legend of "seven lakes and three waterfalls." The name Pa Sy is a mispronunciation by the Kinh people of the original name Pau Suh, meaning "three streams converging into one."

At an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters above sea level, the gentle coolness and fresh air of the pristine wilderness of Mang Den, often referred to as the "Da Lat" of Kon Tum, offer an incredibly refreshing and relaxing feeling. The path to the waterfall winds through a primeval forest, shaded by lush greenery year-round. During the rainy season in the Central Highlands, the water in the small streams flows gently into the springs, the increased volume of water creating a resounding echo of the mountain forest. Standing on the bridge spanning the lake, looking up at the 40-meter-high waterfall cascading down in a white foam, no one can fail to be impressed and feel small before the vast, wild, and majestic surroundings.
