Three major layers create the Ban Ba Waterfall. The first waterfall is called Tat Cum, the second is called Tat Cao and the third is called Tat Gio. Between these layers are small waterfalls with 5-7 m height, small canyons, and blue water ponds.

The first layer - Tat Cum is considered to have the most majestic and poetic appearance. The area at the foot of the waterfall is often called "Dragon Abyss" by local people because there are cliffs shaped like dragons and underground water gushing out like the image of a dragon spraying water.

The second level of the waterfall that is more difficult to conquer is Tat Cao, divided into two falling branches, like two white silk strips winding between the mountains and forests. At the foot of the waterfall, it is a pool of clear blue water called "Vuc Quyen". This is an ideal place for visitors to experience and sit on uniquely shaped rocks to relax.

The last level is also the most difficult place to conquer, the Tat Gio floor flowing along the limestone slabs into the deep abyss called "Vuc Linh" (sacred abyss). At this waterfall, visitors can immerse themselves in the cool blue water, and listen to the sound of the waterfall and the songs of forest birds.

The surrounding ecosystem is the ancient woods a few hundred years old, with many precious woods and tangled vines. Vegetation is rich, with a lot of bird species and colorful butterflies. From afar, Ban Ba waterfall falls, creating picturesque scenery. At the foot of the waterfall, the fields are lush all year round. Tay, Nung people build their houses on the mountain slopes, hidden in the valley. Tourists visit this place to enjoy the pristine and romantic scenery.

The waterfall is located in the middle of a primeval forest with a green coverage of up to 93 percent and is strictly protected by forest rangers. The atmosphere is always fresh, cool, and comfortable.
