Dambri Waterfall

Dambri Waterfall

Dambri eco-tourism site, at the height of 1,500 metres above sea level, is viewed as an ideal tourism resort in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, attracting many Vietnamese and international tourists.

Coming to Dambri, tourists have a chance to wallow in wild natural scenery. Apart from such imposing scenery as waterfalls, fossil caves, primeval forests, tourists can visit zoos, Monkey Island and animal circus.

The Dambri waterfall is nearly 60 metres high, including different layers overlapping each other in a unique way. The waterfall is located in the middle of the forbidden forest with a great variety of precious animals and plants.

The Dambri waterfall looks imposing from a far distance. From the top of the waterfall, a giant volume of water pours down with very white foams. If tourists view the waterfall from a low position, tens of rainbows, created by water and sunlight, will be seen.

Legend has it that there was a boy and a girl from the K’ho ethnic minority group who used to have an appointment by the waterfall. Their love was as beautiful as a branch of wild orchids and as sweet as the cool stream.

One day, the boy disappeared without leaving any traces. The girl waited for him and wept for such a long time and her tear flows into the waterfall.

The K’ho people named the waterfall as Dambri that means waiting. Today, the poetic and imposing waterfall is a symbol of faithful love of girls from the K’ho ethnic minority group.

Coming to Dambri, tourists can also join an adventure tour in the forbidden forest. With thousands of hectares of the primeval forest, Dambri will bring a great deal of interesting memory for tourists.
