Ta Gu Waterfall originates from the top of Hon Ba, which has an altitude of 1300m above sea level. Hon Ba is located in a fairly high position in Khanh Hoa, so it often rains here. Thanks to that, the water in Ta Gu waterfall almost never runs out and flows all year round. Because the shape of the waterfall looks like a white ivory that stands out on the brown color of the rocks and the blue of the mountains and forests, Ta Gu waterfall was formerly known as Ivory Waterfall. Later, due to the flow of the waterfall blending into the Ta Gu stream, it was called Ta Gu waterfall.
Due to the location of the waterfall in the forest, any visitor must go through a walking journey of more than 200m from the entrance. Although it is only 200m away from walking to the waterfall, this is quite a challenging journey because this place still retains its pristine appearance, a forest crossing road with steep and slippery rocks. In return, visitors will be immersed in the space of the deep green primeval forest, the sun's rays shining through each layer of leaves and the wind blowing overhead, signaling a space completely separate from the bustle of everyday life.
After the yeast trail through wet rock steps, the foot of Ta Gu waterfall will make anyone feel overwhelmed. In the midst of thousands of wild mountains, from uneven rocks, water poured out rumbled at a height of more than 40m, throwing white foam into the lake below. The white silk strip woven by nature brings a refreshing feeling of coolness to tired visitors .
In contrast to the powerful waterfall above, the lake bed below is nearly 200m wide and extremely gentle. The cool, clear water will dispel all the summer heat. In the middle of that space, only you are silent with the sound of running water, wind and echoing wild birds.
The downstream area of the waterfall is also a very suitable place to "chill", visitors can use SUP paddling service on the quiet lake, enjoy meals with mountain flavors and local cuisine in the cool water or learn about the life of the indigenous Raglai people.
It is not a place to invest in tourism and services, but Ta Gu waterfall is an ideal place to "take each other to hide" from the noise of the city, and let the mind melt into the cool silence.
