Thac Voi

Getting around: Near Lam Ha district, about 25km northwest of Da Lat — roughly 40-50 minutes by car or motorbike.
Hours: Typically open daily, roughly 7am-5pm.

Thac Voi (Elephant Falls) is a wide, powerful waterfall that drops over dark volcanic rock formations resembling an elephant's hide, from which it takes its name. A steep, sometimes slippery staircase and path lead down to the base and behind parts of the falls, giving a close-up view of the spray and rock formations rather than just a distant lookout.

It's often paired with a stop at the nearby Linh An Pagoda, which sits just above the falls and adds a quieter contrast to the noise and force of the water.

Is there an entrance fee?

Yes, a modest entrance fee applies.

Can I combine it with other sights?

Yes, Linh An Pagoda sits right above the falls and is a natural add-on.

How long should I plan for a visit?

45 minutes to an hour, more if you explore behind the falls.

Is it suitable for children?

With supervision, yes, though the steep, sometimes wet paths mean caution is warranted for younger kids.
