Do Quyen Waterfall

Likened to a "sleeping fairy in the middle of Bach Ma forest", Do Quyen Waterfall is one of the most impressive destinations here. Standing about 300m high, the waterfall cascades down in white foam from steep cliffs, creating a spectacular scene. The name of the waterfall originates from the rhododendron bushes growing along both banks, blooming brilliantly every spring and enhancing the romantic beauty of this place.

The path to the waterfall can be quite challenging, but witnessing the majestic beauty of the cascade with your own eyes makes all the effort completely worthwhile. Do Quyen Waterfall is not only a spot to admire the scenery but also an ideal space to immerse yourself in nature and listen to the sounds of flowing water and singing birds.

Ngu Ho offers a peaceful, quiet space, completely isolated from the noise of the outside world. This is an ideal location for swimming, relaxing, and soaking in the fresh water.
