1. Overview of Tạt Nàng Waterfall
Tạt Nàng Waterfall
The Tạt Nàng stream originates from the merging of the Tà Xam and Tà Piu streams, flowing through Phụ Mẫu 2 to Phụ Mẫu 1, forming a majestic waterfall with a height of over 100 meters. From afar, the cascading waterfall rushes vigorously, dividing into 3 tiers as it weaves through rocky cliffs amidst the forest.
In 2016, Tạt Nàng Waterfall proudly earned the title of provincial-level scenic relic. With vast primeval forests and cool, refreshing waters, this place becomes an ideal destination for tourists to escape the heat and embark on journeys of exploration and conquest of the towering waterfall.
Apart from admiring the natural scenery, visiting here gives you the chance to hear the legend of the waterfall intertwined with a sad love story. In ancient times, a young girl fell in love with a young man, but ironically, he was from a lineage feuding with her family's, making their love story forbidden and difficult to come together.
Overwhelmed with sorrow from the unfinished love story, the girl threw herself from the peak of Mount Tạt Nặm to preserve her love. And thus, the name Tạt Nàng was born and given to the waterfall. In Thai, 'Tạt' means waterfall, and 'Nàng' refers to the beautiful girl who threw herself down here.
