Dray Sap Waterfall

About this location

Dray Sap Waterfall: A massive 'smoky' waterfall and pristine natural complex in the Central Highlands. Located on the natural border between Dak Lak and Lam Dong provinces (along the majestic Serepok River), Dray Sap Waterfall (Smoke Waterfall) is a national-level scenic site and one of the most pristine and imposing waterfalls in the Central Highlands. The landscape features a volcanic rock slope stretching over 100 meters, where the Serepok River cascades from a height of over 20 meters into the rocky basin below. A signature visual highlight is the massive curtain of mist that rises like a mystical fog, covering the entire valley and refracting natural light through the layers of primeval forest canopy. The combination of the powerful flow, weathered dark grey basalt cliff formations, and lush protected forest vegetation creates a highly expressive filming location, offering diverse camera angles ranging from magnificent, sweeping panoramic shots to authentic close-ups of the vast wilderness. With its grand natural scale and unique geological formations, this location is well-suited for period dramas, action-adventure films, fantasy movies, TV commercials, and artistic music videos, subject to national scenic site management regulations and filming permit requirements.
