Explore Dak Lak, still a novel destination. However, it doesn't lack breathtaking landscapes. Your Dak Lak journey would be incomplete without a visit to Thủy Tiên Falls. This place, amidst pristine primary forests, is connected to a waterfall that stretches over 3km, adorned with beautiful rock formations and intertwining tree roots.
Thủy Tiên Falls is one among myriad waterfalls in Daklak. It is not only beautiful in form but also rich with the legend of the water fairy passed down through generations.
Once upon a time in this region, a calamity befell the village. Strangely, the wrath of 'Giàng' persisted, causing the rivers to dry up. Many villagers suffered from hunger and thirst. Among them were the newlyweds, H’ Năng and her husband. Witnessing the dire situation, H’ Năng couldn't bear it. In solidarity with the young men of the village, her 'husband' set off on a distant journey to find new land. However, seasons passed, and there was no sign of his return.

H’ Năng waited tirelessly, her heart filled with longing for her husband and sorrow for the dying village. Witnessing the slow demise due to hunger, disease, and despair, she decided to embark on a journey to find her husband and a new homeland. Exhausted, she collapsed beside a dry stream. 'Giàng,' moved by her unwavering loyalty, made the rain pour. Rivers and streams quickly filled with life again, but H’ Năng could not be revived. Her hair stretched along the small stream, turning into a beautiful and graceful waterfall, a tribute to the gentle and loyal spirit of the Ede girl - 'Thủy Tiên.' The village named the river flowing through this land after her, calling it 'H’Năng,' a perpetual reminder of the legend of a girl intertwined with the pristine and poetic 'Thủy Tiên' waterfall.

As you reach this destination, you'll be even more amazed when you gaze at the waterfall cascading down over stacked boulders. The first tier has a gentle slope, easy to navigate, with a small, calm waterfall. On either side, tree roots cascade down like swaying strands of hair, creating a stunning natural tableau.
The second tier of the waterfall spreads wide with multiple stone steps, cascading water creating a white expanse, forming shallow pools inviting travelers to immerse themselves in the refreshing, crystal-clear water.

Beautiful as a watercolor painted by nature's hand, the third tier of the waterfall, no longer gentle, descends steeply from above, creating a deep reservoir. Subsequently, it gently merges into a winding stream amidst the vast and serene mountains, evoking a myriad of emotions in travelers akin to an ancient, wordless epic. In the pure and cool water, the sounds of the wind and water make one forget the weariness of the journey and the complexities of life.
