    Pongour Waterfall, a wild and spectacular landscape in Da Lat, is an excellent day trip and attracts many local and international tourists. Located 50 km from the center of Da Lat, the waterfall is famous all over Vietnam as ‘The greatest waterfall of the South.’

    When looking forward to the best tour of Vietnam, don’t forget to add Pongour Waterfall to your itinerary. It makes a great destination to explore for a day and the perfect way to enjoy magnificent natural beauty and fascinating activities.

    It’s helpful to know everything necessary before visiting Pongour Waterfall. This ultimate travel guide will help ensure you are well-prepared for the trip to the stunning terraced waterfall in Vietnam.

    Get to Know Pongour Waterfall, Da Lat

    Pongour Waterfall is in Phu Hoi Commune, Duc Trong District, Lam Dong Province. This terraced waterfall is approximately 20 km away from Duc Trong’s center and 50 km from Da Lat’s center. Among various waterfalls in Vietnam, Pongour is surrounded by a 25,000 square meters huge unspoiled forest, making it stand out.

    The waterfall is around 40 m high and 100 m wide. Its polished steps appear like a natural amphitheater with a stream of water powerfully gushing through the seven staircases, filling the air with a loud sound and making a breathtaking 3D visual experience for admirers. The gushing water streams become soft as they reach the pond at the bottom. Make sure to include this imposing but not formidable Pongour Waterfall in your holiday packages to Vietnam to enjoy its poetic beauty.

    According to the local people, the presence of Pongour Waterfall came from the land’s ethnic legend. Once upon a time, a female chieftain named Kanai used to rule the land of Phu Hoi. She was a beautiful, talented woman who used to conquer troubling, dangerous animals to protect the locals. Among many animals tamed by Kanai, four massive rhinos devoted themselves to supporting her in building the land and saving the locals from enemies.

    On a full moon day in January, Kanai passed away, leaving the locals and the four rhinos sad and regretful. The four rhinos stayed by their chieftain’s burial place till they died, and in the early morning, locals were surprised by a magnificent waterfall right at the burial place. According to them, Kanai’s hair turned into a gorgeous stream, and the rhinos’ fossils became giant schists, together creating a stunning landscape for Phu Hoi Commune.
