Ban Gioc Waterfalls
Nestled on the border between Vietnam and China, Ban Gioc Waterfalls is one of Southeast Asia’s most stunning natural wonders. These majestic falls cascade down limestone cliffs, creating a dramatic display of mist and water as they flow into the Quay Son River. Ban Gioc is not only the largest waterfall in Vietnam but also one of the most picturesque, with a striking backdrop of lush greenery and towering karst mountains.
Visitors to Ban Gioc can explore the surrounding area, including peaceful bamboo groves, traditional villages and a serene temple that offers panoramic views of the falls. To fully immerse in the beauty of the region, a boat ride to the base of the falls provides a truly breathtaking perspective. You’ll also have the opportunity to witness the Ban Gioc waterfalls as part of a small group on our 2 for 1 Vietnam Mountain Adventure Package.
Experience the magic of Ban Gioc Waterfalls during a Northern Vietnam adventure in autumn, when the weather is mild and the landscapes are at their most vibrant. For expert travel insights, check out Vietnam-based writer Joshua Zukas, who covers travel, culture and innovation across Vietnam.
