The irresistible charm of K50 Waterfall

Located in Kon Chu Rang nature reserve in Binh Dinh hamlet, Son Lang commune, K’Bang district, Gia Lai province, K50 Waterfall is called “The Muse” nestled inside the vast forests and mountains of The Central Highlands. The waterfall has a height of more than 50m, surrounded by green vegetation.

From a distance, the waterfall looks like a giant white silk strip hanging along the cliff. Around the foot of the waterfall are green moss-covered rocks that form unique shapes. The waterfall is located in the middle of the forest, surrounded by deep green nature with a cool atmosphere, which is why the K50 waterfall has received much attention from tourists.

Since Gia Lai province is located in a humid tropical climate, influenced by the Duyen Hai and Central Highlands climates, the sun is not too harsh in the dry season. From January to July every year, the weather is cool, with little rain, creating favorable conditions for people to travel around and explore the wonderful natural scenery with their families and friends.

This waterfall is also known as Hang En Waterfall because there is a large cave where thousands of forest swallows build their nests just behind it.

The trekking route

Because Kon Chu Rang is still very wild and has not been developed for tourism, travelers need to follow the procedures required by the forest ranger. After completing the necessary procedures, tourists are led into the forest by two people to ensure safety and compliance with conservation laws and regulations. From the forest ranger, tourists start trekking 14km to reach Trai Bo.

To reach K50 waterfall, tourists can stop to rest at Trai Bo, where some Bahnar households live, and continue walking through the forest for another 4km. It takes about 3 hours to cover this distance. Despite the slopes and streams, the majestic and wild beauty of the Kon Chu Rang conservation area is worth the effort.
