Dalanta waterfall


Away from the center of Dalat city about 5 kilometers, athough Dalanta Fall is not so magnificent as other waterfalls in this land, it still has specific attraction for many tourists, especially for those who love adventure.
At the distance of 8 kilometers from Prenn waterfall and 10 kilometers from Da Lat city, Dalanta waterfall is really one of the most favourite destinations for many domestic and international tourists with a avariety of beautiful landscapes and adventurous places as well. The waterfall doesn't create much noise as the giant volume of water pouring down from 20 meters high slips through many rock slabs. Below the waterfall is the the Fairy Stream which is beautiful and worth a look. Besides, there is the Death Canyon that is rather dangerous but an ideal place offering the cliff climbing game for adventurous travellers.
According to the legend, the waterfall having a deep cave hidden in the forest used to be a shelter for a local troop in the war with the Chams hundreds of years before. Hence, it is given a name of Dalanta, a compound word in K'Ho language "Da-Tam-N'ha", meaning "water under the leaves"
Visitors can enjoy the stunning landscapes from the top to the foot of the waterfall either by walking on foot for about 10 to15 minutes or by riding the roller coasters within 2 minutes. Since the 48 rolling coaster system was put into operation, it has attracted many travellers coming here to discover the fascinating beauty of Dalanta waterfall. Two-seater cars equipped with hand breaks to vary the speed run on the 1 kilometers long route, meandering through pine forests and gradually descending to the fall bottom, which gives tourists a great pleasure and excitement while enjoying the breathtaking downhill view. Thus, It is said that Dalanta is the paradise of not only  stunning view but also thrilling games that draws many tourists, especially youths and adventurers.
