Southeast Asia’s tallest waterfall in central Vietnam hosts first expedition tour

Nguyen Vu Linh, Director of Bach Ma National Park, about 40 km from Hue, said that the canyoning adventure to conquer the waterfall is part of a tour created to explore the park, which commenced on Jan. 2.

In partnership with a travel company, the three-day, two-night expedition is priced at VND15 million ($615) per person. The first tour took place with the involvement of four tourists.

Following the plan, when in Bach Ma National Park, tourists strolled along Hoang Yen Stream to visit Ngu Ho Waterfall. There, they could take a swim, enjoy lunch, and try out canyoning. After camping at Ngu Ho for the first night, the group walked to the top of Do Quyen Waterfall the next morning and were instructed to climb to conquer the 400-meters waterfall.

The tourists also had lunch on a cliff in the middle of the waterfall, then camped at the bottom of Do Quyen, spending the second night at the waterfall.
