History 

Khuoi Nhi Waterfall is not only famous for its wild natural beauty but also closely associated with the cultural life and activities of the ethnic minorities here, especially the Tay people. According to local people, the name "Khuoi Nhi" means "small stream" in the Tay language, showing the connection of the waterfall with the lives of the indigenous people.

The waterfall was formed thousands of years ago by the erosion of limestone in the Na Hang - Lam Binh Lake geological system. The cool water from the high mountain tops flows down, creating a series of soft cascades, weaving through each slab of moss-covered rock. Moreover, to its landscape value, Khuoi Nhi Waterfall also serves as a natural source of fresh water, used by local people for daily life and farming for many generations.

Best time to visit 

The best time to visit Khuoi Nhi Waterfall is from May to September, when the North Vietnam enters summer. This is when the waterfall is full of water, white foam, and the air in the forest is extremely cool. At this time, the waterfall becomes most lively and charming, with clear turquoise water and soft yellow sunlight through the tree canopy, creating a magical scene like an art painting.

However, if you want a relaxing and less crowded experience, the end of September to the beginning of November is also a reasonable option. At this time, the water is still enough for water, and the weather is slightly cold, so it is suitable for camping and sightseeing.

What to do there?

Soaking in the cool water

One of the most interesting activities for travelers at Khuoi Nhi Waterfall is soaking in the cool water. The water here is clear, so you can see every pebble at the bottom, and it is cool that just by putting your feet in, you can feel the refreshment spreading throughout your body. Bathing in the stream not only helps you reduce heat in the summer but also brings a sense of effective mental relaxation.

Exploring the waterfall

Next, you can explore the unique stone waterfalls, where the water flows through each layer of soft moss. The feeling of walking barefoot on the cool stone slabs, listening to the sound of trickling water, and watching small fish swimming with your own eyes will make you feel like you are lost in a fairyland in the middle of the forest. These are also ideal locations to check in and "live virtually" with nature.
