Early light washes the rice paddies as the minivan peels away from Nha Trang and the road climbs into green hills. Within an hour you leave coastal humidity for a narrower world of river gorges, mango groves and a chorus of insects; the track narrows to footpaths as guides thread a route through plantation and secondary jungle toward a series of pools and falls about 35 km from the city.
