A cool mist greets you before the road opens — spray from a cataract sweeping down jungle-stepped rock. On this full-day loop out of Da Lat you move between thunderous Datanla, the layered drop of Pongour and the raw power of Elephant (Thác Voi), each waterway carving the Central Highlands into cliffs, basalt shelves and fern-lined gullies.
