Hang En, usually called K50, drops around fifty metres into a pool in the Kon Chu Rang nature reserve in Gia Lai, in forest that is genuinely remote - the fall was little known outside the district until photographs circulated in the 2010s. Getting there is the whole difficulty: a long rough track from Kbang that needs a capable vehicle or a motorbike with a rider who knows it, then a walk down through forest to the pool, with a guide required by the reserve. Swifts nest in the rock behind the water, which is where the Vietnamese name comes from. Camping at the fall is arranged through the reserve.
What you actually see
- A fifty metre fall into a pool - in remote reserve forest.
- Swifts nesting behind the water - which gives it its Vietnamese name.
- A long rough track and a walk - the reason it stayed unknown.
- Guides required - the reserve controls access.
When to go
November to April; the wet season makes the track impassable. A full day or overnight.
Honest expectations
The access is genuinely difficult and people underestimate it - this is not a roadside waterfall. Permission and a guide must be arranged with the reserve. There are no facilities. Leeches in the forest are constant.
Nearby
Kbang is west; Kon Ka Kinh national park is south-west.
