Bat Cave – The pristine beauty amidst the vast Vi Huong wilderness

Hidden beneath the ancient forest canopy of Vi Hương commune, Bạch Thông district, Dơi Waterfall is one of the destinations that still retains the rare untouched beauty of the Northeast mountainous region. Not noisy, not crowded, this place attracts visitors with its clear water, cool air, and a natural landscape that seems almost unaffected by tourism activities.

Along with Vằng Áng waterfall and several other waterfalls originating from the Phja Boóc mountain range, Dơi Waterfall creates a distinctive natural scenic area of Vi Hương land.

The waterfall in the ancient forest of Phja Boóc

Dơi Waterfall is located in Vi Hương commune, Bạch Thông district, about 20km west of Bắc Kạn city center.

The water source of the waterfall comes from the pristine forests on the Phja Boóc mountain range – an area with a rich ecosystem and abundant water supply year-round. After winding through rocky crevices and mountain slopes, the water cascades down, forming white waterfalls amidst the lush green of the mountains and forests.

Due to its deep location in the forest and lack of mass tourism development, Dơi Waterfall still retains its original natural beauty.
