From a distance, the waterfall looks like a giant white silk strip hanging along the cliff. Around the foot of the waterfall are green moss-covered rocks that are scattered to form unique shapes. The waterfall is located uniquely in the middle of the forest, surrounded by deep green nature with a cool atmosphere, which is easy to understand why the K50 waterfall has received much attention from many tourists.

Since Gia Lai province is located in a humid tropical climate, which is influenced by two climates Duyen Hai and Central Highlands, and the sun is not too harsh in the dry season. From January to July every year, the weather is cool, with little rain that creates favorite conditions for people to comfortably travel around and explore the wonderful natural sceneries with their families and friends.

This waterfall is also known as Hang En Waterfall. It has this name because there is a large cave where thousands of forest swallows building their nests just behind it.

The trekking route

Because Kon Chu Rang is still very wild and has not been exploited for tourism, travelers will have to follow the procedures required by the forest ranger. After that, the ranger board will let two people lead tourists into the forest to ensure safety and avoid cases of violation of laws and regulations on animal and plant conservation. From the forest ranger, tourists start trekking 14km to reach Trai Bo.

To Trai Bo - where some Bahnar households live, tourists can stop to rest and continue walking through the forest for another 4km to reach K50 waterfall. It will take travelers about 3 hours to cross this distance. Although they have to cross many slopes and streams to reach their destination, the majestic and wild beauty of the Kon Chu Rang conservation area is worth the effort.
