Khe Van Waterfall is a popular attraction for travel enthusiasts seeking adventure and exploration. A visit here offers a variety of exciting experiences and unforgettable memories.

1. A glance at Khe Van Waterfall

Khe Van Waterfall is located in Binh Lieu Commune (formerly Huc Dong Commune, Binh Lieu District), Quang Ninh Province. It is about 100 kilometers away from Ha Long City. The name “Khe Van” is inspired by the waterfall’s misty look – “Van” means “smoke” in the local ethnic language, so the name translates to “smoky stream.”

Start your adventure by exploring the three tiers of Khe Van Waterfall. The first tier features a wide space with a central rock shaped like a resting elephant, surrounded by scattered stones. At the second tier, the water splits into two streams, cascading over rocks and forming layers of foaming white water. At the top tier, tourists can take in the waterfall’s complete majesty. The sound of rushing water blending with the rustling forest makes this remote, mountainous area a truly enchanting destination for nature lovers.

2.2. Enjoy swimming and camping

Swimming and camping with friends at Khe Van Waterfall is a perfect way to set aside life’s worries and immerse yourself in nature. Under the sunlight, you can cool off in the refreshing waterfall, pitch a tent, camp, grill food, and chat with friends. It’s an unforgettable experience that lets tourists truly connect with the untouched beauty of the mountains and forests.

2.4. Savor local specialties

Don’t miss the chance to enjoy the flavors of the forest with unique dishes prepared by local people, such as grilled chicken, five-color sticky rice, stream fish, and Binh Lieu chicken cooked with canna vermicelli.

2.5. Visit an ethnic village & experience the local life

Around Khe Van Waterfall lie villages of the San Chi ethnic group, where tourists can join the villagers in planting canna roots, working in fields, or taking part in daily activities. On request, they may even sing soong co, the traditional San Chi folk song.

Huc Dong Commune is well-known for its canna vermicelli. During the flower season, the hillsides glow with green and red, while harvest time fills the fields with laughter. Tourists may also join in harvesting rice, peeling cinnamon, or picking star anise, two signature crops of Binh Lieu.

3. Guide for tourists to Khe Van Waterfall

3.1. When to visit?

Each season brings its own charm to Khe Van Waterfall. During the rainy season (May – September), powerful torrents create a dramatic scene. In the dry season (October – April), the falls become gentle, with trickling streams ideal for picnicking, sightseeing, and relaxing in nature. The best experience is on clear days after the rains. For a cultural touch, make your visit in the 3rd lunar month (around April), when the San Chi people hold the Soong Co festival, featuring folk songs and traditional activities that showcase the richness of local heritage.

3.2. How to get there?

To reach Khe Van Waterfall, you can travel by motorbike or car. Follow National Road 18A to Tien Yen, then turn onto National Road 18C toward Binh Lieu. Look for signs and continue along the route. From there, it’s a 15-minute walk to the base of the falls. The route winds through the peaceful countryside, past hillside homes and terraced fields.

3.3. What to note?

If you’re planning a trip to Khe Van Waterfall, keep these helpful tips in mind:

  • Check the weather: Review the forecast to prepare for any changes.
  • Clothing: Wear comfortable outfits suitable for exploring mountains and forests.
  • Essentials: Bring enough drinking water, sunscreen, and other personal items.
  • Respect nature: Dispose of trash properly to keep the environment clean.
  • Safety first: The route to the waterfall can be challenging – drive slowly if you’re on a vehicle. Swim only in permitted areas. Stick to the lowest tier of the falls, as the upper tiers are slippery.
  • Camping: You can bring your own food and choose a safe spot for camping.
