Dambri Waterfall – Where Mist Meets the Mountains in Bao Loc
Introduction to the Dambri Waterfall
Surrounded by lush tea and coffee plantations in Vietnam’s Lam Dong province, Dambri Waterfall plunges from a height of 90 meters, creating a roaring curtain of white. Its name—derived from a K’Ho legend meaning “waiting”—captures the romance and mystery associated with the falls. Dambri is not just a visual marvel; it’s part of a park offering cable lifts, slides, and cultural shows that appeal to adventurers and families alike.
At GrandViet Tour, we invite you to witness Dambri’s power and explore the surrounding highlands. This guide covers everything from highlights and best seasons to travel tips and the benefits of touring with us.

Dambri Waterfall – Key Highlights
Located about 17 kilometers from Bao Loc city, Dambri Waterfall is one of the tallest in the Central Highlands. Its features include:
- Towering drop: The waterfall falls nearly 90 meters into a large basin, sending up clouds of mist and creating rainbows on sunny days.
- Legend of love: The K’Ho legend tells of a girl waiting endlessly for her lover, her tears forming the waterfall. Hence the name “Da M’Bri,” meaning “waiting.”
- Elevator & slides: Visitors can descend via stairs or take a transparent elevator for a thrilling view. A 1,650‑meter alpine coaster and water slides provide fun for kids and adults.
- Recreation park: The surrounding area includes flower gardens, a zoo, restaurants, and areas for camping and picnicking.
Dambri is both a natural spectacle and a recreational hub, making it a versatile destination.
