Dray Sap Waterfall, an epic song in the midst of the Central Highlands

The majestic Serepok River of the Central Highlands in its billowing flow to Nam Da, Krong Na met the bends of rocky mountains more than a hundred meters long, threw themselves down, rumbled strongly, creating huge columns of water and this place has become a legendary beautiful waterfall in the heart of the Central Highlands. The waterfall has a height of about 20 m but a width of 100m. The name Dray Sap means "smoke" in Ede. Also from this name, it is possible to express the majesty and beauty of this tourist destination.  According to legend, when the Serepok River was still a small flowing river, it formed the boundary between the two villages. In those two villages there is a couple who love each other. However, because of their different villages, their love is forbidden. Eventually, they threw themselves into this river with a wish to be together forever. It is also from here that this river splits into two branches.  One tributary is Dray Nur (wife waterfall) and another is Dray Sap (husband waterfall).  Just arriving at the forest surrounding the base of the falls, visitors have heard the echoes of the waterfall from four echoes. The space is cool, misty and the scenery is even more illusory. Weaving in the middle of the primeval forest, you will enjoy watching the old trees, tall skyscrapers, sometimes encountering rocks tinged with steam, so covered with moss, besides the thick carpet of intertwined vines placed and intertwined from one old tree to another, creating a scene that is both poetic and mysterious. When you go through the dark forest, you will reach the falls. The water about 20 meters high rushes down to splash white hazy dust, creating resounding sounds like a majestic song sung around the clock. When the sun is high, the brilliant sunlight will penetrate the delicate steam to create magical shimmering rainbow colors. And perhaps because the thin smoke created from the cascade keeps rising to create poetic white smoke flakes, this waterfall is also called Smoke Waterfall. Going deep into the forest, you will also find your heart lightening when you hear in the space the chirping birds calling to each other. Then sometimes you have to admire when meeting the colorful grass, the vibrant beauty of the young shoots that are spurring. All blend into a fresh, beautiful, magical picture of nature, holding people by. The Central Highlands has a rather 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 visit this tourist destination is the rainy season. This time is the time when this waterfall will possess the most wonderful beauty. Ecosystems, vegetation thrive. However, this time you need to pay attention to safety.  Source: General
