About Nam Tra Waterfall
Nam Tra Waterfall (Thác Nặm Trà) is a natural cascade located in Nam Tra Hamlet, Cao Chuong Commune, Trung Khanh District, Cao Bang Province, in the former Tra Linh area of northeastern Vietnam. Set amid limestone karst mountains, forests and terraced fields, the waterfall flows over rocky tiers into shallow pools below. Notable for its seasonal flow and quiet rural setting, it offers a less crowded natural attraction compared to larger waterfalls in the region.
