Conquering Phi Lieng - the first waterfall in the Central Highlands

Translated by Bing
Known as the first waterfall in the Central Highlands, Phi Lieng Waterfall has a wild, majestic and powerful beauty like the soul of the people of the great land.

Phi Lieng Waterfall is located in Phi Lieng commune, Dam Rong district, Lam Dong province, about 70km from the center of Da Lat city. Not only is the waterfall famous for its rare beauty, but it is also an ideal place for visitors who want to challenge themselves.


Also known as the Seven Tiers Waterfall, Phi Lieng Waterfall is not like waterfalls that are planned as tourist attractions to help tourists easily come to enjoy but are likened to "treasures" of nature, a "gift" for those who are brave enough and healthy enough to overcome tens of kilometers of forest roads.


The road to Phi Lieng waterfall is very easy to get lost. Due to its location hidden deep in the old forest, this road has a very high humidity, affected by fog and rain. The plow is the only means of moving into the forest of the K'Ho people living here, so the trail into the forest is full of deeply concave bumps. Visitors have to overcome a lot of muddy roads, then conquer the steep slopes in a row. The slope here has a fairly large slope, easy to slip, requiring visitors to be very careful.


Passing the slopes, visitors will begin to hear the sound of water falling. The majestic waterfall lies upright, the rushing water pours down, creating a sound that echoes in the vast mountains and forests. 


This sacred and majestic waterfall is surrounded by overlapping spy stone walls. Surrounded by deep forests..., all create a wild, strong but also very loving beauty, like a unique substance of the haunted, sunny and windy Central Highlands land.


Coming to Phi Lieng waterfall, in addition to visiting, camping or swimming, visitors also have the opportunity to challenge themselves with abseiling activities from the cliff at the top of the waterfall. Abseiling is understood as a sport that is almost like climbing. However, if climbing is going up, abseiling is going down with swinging on a rope. This means that when participating in abseiling, visitors will climb the mountain in a descending form along with a rope as a safety fulcrum.


To be able to perform this adventure sport, visitors will have to go through skill training sessions, common situations, how to solve and practice carefully before swinging. Equipment from belts, helmets, life jackets, gloves... are fully provided and are always double-checked before broadcasting and before playing for all participants.


Abseiling is not the only place to experience abseiling, however abseiling in Africa makes many visitors feel more nervous and anxious due to the verticality and height of the cliffs. With a length of 115, this is the longest abseiling in Vietnam with an average climbing time of 20-35 minutes per person.


Phi Lieng Waterfall is not a place for tourists who are faint of heart and like to relax. However, if you want to test your courage and ability, as well as experience the feeling of being immersed in the immensity of all waterfalls, Fei Lieng is definitely a must-visit point once in your life.
