Visited as part of the three waterfall tour. Beautiful and majestic. Not much walking required. Cannot go near the water or swim, the water is too powerful but can view from a close by enclosure. The lady buddha statue nearby is beautiful as well.

Covered in rubbish and a dead dog though they still charged for entry, the place definitely seemed closed. Will hopefully be cleaned up in peak season.

This was an impressive waterfall but at time of our visit Nov2022, it was officially “closed”. Apparently they are undergoing a change in ownership and the place needs major repairs. However you can still visit unofficially (at your own risk of course) if you show up and pay the 50,000 VND entrance. We did this and it was well worth it, but a couple of caveats.

1). The infrastructure is in a state of disrepair so be cautious. For eg, the viewing platform on the Big Buddha side of the falls is severely rusted, and the end of the platform itself is soaked in mud and tall grass. We didn’t trust the safety of it so only went until that part, as you can see huge chunks of rust flakes and the whole structure seemed “bouncy”. We did see people on the far side viewing platforms and those looked good from afar, so try those.

2). The trail down is treacherous. The metal handrails identify the trail and are good/solid, but they are imbedded in rocks that you are essentially scrambling down/up so you need good shoes.

3). You will get muddy. If you proceed down to bottom of falls past the viewing platform mentioned above, the trail becomes wet and muddy. There is no way to avoid it getting on your pants, shoes and hands, but the view at the bottom is amazing. I had to walk through the water to get onto a little land further off the banks to get a better view but no big deal as I had on Keens, the ideal shoe for this excursion.

Anyway we totally enjoyed these fabulous falls, and highly recommend with the above mentioned caveats.

Fabulous waterfalls. We spent a few hours being alone here - just experiencing the awe-inspiring majesty of the millions of liters of water cascading over the rocks in rainy season.

We travelled to the falls by public bus from Da Lat city centre bus stop (near Da Lat market). They are the green and blue busses in the centre and the fare is 30,000vnd one way. Check the driver is going to Thac Voi and they will likely ensure you get off at the right stop - the stop is around 100m from the falls. The actual site for the falls is closed but you can enter around the side (avoiding cameras) for 50,000vnd which was the original price when it was open. The paths were very slippery and you essentially had to climb down but definitely worth it. There is also a Buddhist temple up there road from the falls which is worth visiting too. The same bus can be got back to Da Lat city from the other side of the road, supposedly every 15 minutes or so. The journey takes around 45 minutes each way.

State of Meghalaya is full of very scenic waterfalls, Elephant Fall being one among them. This extremely beautiful waterfall has three stages and a different experience at each of the three stages. One has to keep going down the stairs to experience each of the stage, starting with the first stage and the third one is at the bottom. Entire ambience is maintained very neat and clean. Very romantic place too.

One more attraction here is a store that rents traditional dresses for men as well as women. Photography in those traditional dresses is an experience in itself and need to be felt; can't be described! People keep clicking hundreds of photographs wearing those traditional dresses.

Just outside the fall area are some shops where one can purchase local handicrafts, bamboo items etc., worth doing some shopping here as a souvenir items.

I went to see the falls with an Easy Rider. The place is spectacular. To get the best view one must climb some uneven steps, many of them. The steps could be slippery and there were some scary gaps. I have to say, that at 72, I could not have done it by myself. Several times I needed the helping hand of my guide for security. Young people.have no issues. Children need to be supervised. The reward of seeing this massive cascade and the smaller ones near it is worth all efforts. I am so glad I did it!

You must track down the narrow path, some stairs and climb of some rock path to get to see the good view of the waterfall.
