Situated approximately 25 kilometers from the center of Dalat City, Pang Tieng Waterfall is veiled within the depths of the Lam Vien Forest, presenting adventurers with a journey marked by rugged paths and narrow winding trails. Travelers often opt for bicycles or motorbikes to negotiate the challenging terrain.
Upon conquering the journey, Pang Tieng Waterfall reveals its majestic allure. Cascading over 20 meters in height, the water descends gracefully, enveloping the banks in a frothy white foam. Despite enduring the erosive forces of nature, the rocks surrounding the waterfall boast remarkable squared cuts, each measuring between one and two meters in height.

The tranquil atmosphere, coupled with the crisp mountain air, offers visitors a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Vast hills and verdant grasslands provide ideal spots for camping and outdoor activities, allowing tourists to immerse themselves fully in the lush mountainous surroundings. As tourism facilities are still in the early stages of development, visitors are advised to bring their own provisions and camping gear for a fulfilling trip.
The optimal time to visit Pang Tieng Waterfall is from November to March when the weather is dry, accompanied by a refreshing coolness in the air. However, caution is advised when exploring the waterfall, particularly when navigating the fast-flowing streams. Travelers should opt for downstream paths where the current is gentler, and exercise care when traversing the slippery rocks that dot the stream.
