Cam Ly waterfalls, a legend of Da Lat

If you ever come to the city of dream-Da Lat, you must have visited Cam Ly waterfalls, the pretty waterfalls carrying the tender beauty of a maiden. The magic combination creates an unique landscape.

Cam Ly-the tender waterfalls of Da Lat

In the rainy season, water from the upstream flocks to the waterfalls, swirling white foam like the smile of a maiden, happy to welcome tourists. In the dry season, the amount of water is less, revealing giant rocks looking like loyal guards standing there to protect for the princess waterfalls. The sounds of water running through rocks combines with songs or birds creates an interesting symphony of the nature that lulls your soul into a vast space and makes you feel secured by the majestic nature of Da Lat.

A peaceful Cam Ly in dry season

Scattering around the waterfalls are tiny and rustic cottages for tourists to take a short rest, or if your trip does not exhaust you, the cottages will be a great shelter for a break to sip some drink and enjoy the entire picture of the beautiful waterfalls with sparkling water drops in the sun.

The picturesque place is not just a spot of tourism, it has been an inspiration for many generations of Vietnamese poems and authors.

And fierce in rainy season

Its special name

Cam Ly is the only natural waterfall in Da Lat whose name has no relation with love stories but the gratitude and remembrance. Until today the local people still tell a story about a headman of K’Mly tribe who lead his people to a better life. Hearing the sounds of the waterfalls as a happy music of the better life thanks to the headman, the people named the waterfalls after their headman.
