Dray Sap Waterfall, a long song in the middle of the Central Highlands

The majestic Serepok River of the Central Highlands in its turbulent flow to Nam Da, Krong Na encountered the fractures of a rock mountain more than a hundred meters long that freely threw itself down, rumbling strongly, creating huge columns of water and this place has become a beautiful waterfall like a legend in the heart of the Central Highlands. The waterfall is about 20 m high but has a width of 100 m. The name Dray Sap means "smoke" in Ede. Also from this name, it is possible to describe the majesty and beauty of this tourist destination.  Photo: Hieu Nguyen According to legend, when the Serepok River was still a small river that flowed to form the boundary between the two villages. In those two villages, there was a couple of men and women who fell in love. However, because they are from different villages, their love is forbidden. In the end, they threw themselves into this river with the wish to be together forever. It is also from here that this river divides into two branches. One is Dray Nur (wife's waterfall) and the other is Dray Sap (husband's waterfall).  Just stepping into the forest surrounding the base of the waterfall, visitors heard the echoes of the waterfall coming from four sides. The space is cool, misty and the scenery is even more vague. Weaving in the middle of the primeval forest, you will freely admire the ancient trees, tall konia trees in the sky, occasionally encounter rocks tinged with steam so covered with moss, besides the thick intertwined vines laid and intertwined from one ancient tree to another, creating a scene that is both poetic and mysterious. Photo: @Tanya/mytour When you go through the dark forest, you will enter the waterfall. The water is about 20 meters high and pours down, scattering white dust, creating resounding sounds like a majestic long song sung around the clock. When the sun rises, the bright sunlight will penetrate the delicate steam to create fantastical shimmering rainbow colors. And perhaps because the thin smoke created from the waterfall keeps rising, creating poetic white smoke, this waterfall is also called Smoke Waterfall. Going deep into the forest, you will feel your heart light when you hear the sound of birds chirping in the space. Then sometimes you have to admire the colorful grass, the vibrant beauty of the young shoots that are spurring. All merge into a fresh, beautiful, magical natural picture, holding people who stop by. Photo: petrotimes/Trip.com The Central Highlands has a quite characteristic climate, which is divided into two distinct seasons: the rainy season and the dry season. Unlike other tourist destinations, the most suitable time to go to this tourist destination is the rainy season. This time is the time when this waterfall will possess the most amazing beauty. Ecosystems and vegetation are thriving. However, at this time, you need to pay attention to safety.  Migo Synthesis
