Dak G’lun Waterfall graces Dak R’tih Stream within Village 5, Quang Tam Commune, Tuy Duc District, Dak Nong Province, approximately 60 kilometers from Gia Nghia Town and 220 kilometers from HCMC. Cascading from a height of 58 meters, the waterfall presents a spectacular sight as two mighty streams converge at a 90-degree angle, gracefully descending upon rocks adorned with verdant moss, painting a mesmerizing panorama.
Enveloped by a pristine landscape of forests and mountains, the waterfall is embraced by a 1,000-hectare special-use forest, boasting a diverse ecosystem teeming with ancient trees, verdant canopies, and lush vegetation adorned with ferns and moss. During the rainy season, the waterfall roars with vigor, its cascading waters adorned with frothy white foam. Conversely, the dry season unveils a clearer, more tranquil spectacle, revealing the pristine beauty of the waterfall.
