Pongour Falls lies in Đức Trọng district, about 45 km south of Da Lat. It drops about 40 m and is more than 100 m wide. Water cascades down several layers of basalt steps, and locals call it the 'Number One Waterfall Under Heaven.' Water flow is greatest in the late rainy season, roughly August to November, and lower in the dry season. Visitors can still walk up to the rock steps for photos. Around the 15th day of the first lunar month each year, a traditional temple fair takes place here. Entry costs about 40,000–60,000 VND. There is no public transport. You need to hire a car or ride a motorbike, which takes about 1–1.5 hours. It can be combined with Elephant Falls for a southwestern day tour.
