Lak Lake, Central Highland, Vietnam

6-hour Bim Bip waterfall BBQ picnic

A dense, tropical maze of layered, leafy-green canopy lies hidden under a soft white layer of delicate clouds. The further one ventures in, the more beauty and mystique is revealed. Standing under the lush, dewy trees, the melodious singing of wild birds can be heard. Adventurous nature-lovers will not be disappointed with a visit to the hidden, small yet charmimg Bim Bip Waterfall, just about 7km from LAK Tented Camp. Situated in southeast Dak Lak, the waterfall originates from the high mountain slopes of the Yang Tao mountain range. It is affectionately considered as the “younger brother” of the imposing Cu Yang Sin Mountain or “the roof of Central Highlands,” and is surrounded by a primeval evergreen forest.

The 2-km walk (45min/way) through the forest is interesting with its explanation on local flora and fauna, farm and forest activities. The effort will indeed pay off upon reaching the hidden Bim Bip Waterfall. Lie down to relax, swim in the refreshing pool and enjoy a healthy, tasty picnic lunch.

Itinerary: 6 hours, from 8:00, walking 4 km total, driving 7km from LAK Tented Camp

After a car transfer to YangTao foothill, you will begin the walk toward the heart of the forest. Following the river upstream, the crops will progressively give way to the exuberant jungle. About 45 minutes of hiking in this beautiful landscape will lead you to the Bim Bip waterfall.
During the walk, with the help of the knowledgeable guide, take time to admire the rich fauna and flora, its beauties and local usage. Arrive at the waterfall where you’ll be rewarded by a tasty picnic, and a fresh bath in the clear pools among the cradle of living water sounds under thick foliage of tropical forest. Relax as long as you wish.

Note: This excursion can be combined in a day with the 3-hour village walk or 4-hour immersion biking if guests have limited time and fit enough.
