Mộc Châu Plateau with endless evergreen tea hills and peach and plum blossoms whenever spring arrives is very popular with backpackers. However, there is another address for adventurers to discover if they want to explore more of the northern mountainous province of Sơn La. It is Vân Hồ District, with amazing, majestic, and typical features of Việt Nam’s northwestern region.
Tạt Nàng Waterfall
When visiting Vân Hồ, tourists should not miss the chance to admire Tạt Nàng Waterfall in Phụ Mẫu I Village, Chiềng Yên Commune. From the crossroads in an old jungle which is 20km from Đồng Bảng intersection, tourists have to walk more than 7 km on rugged roads and paths to reach the centre of the commune and the waterfall.
Hiding behind the terraced paddy fields, Tạt Nàng Waterfall flows all year round. It is a source of water for the paddy fields and food for thought for far-away visitors. Parking their vehicle on the road, tourists should take a small lane, 150 - 200m long, to be able to admire the stunning scenery.
The waterfall is where the Tà Xẩm and Tà Piu streams meet. They run from Phụ Mẫu 2 village to Phụ Mẫu 1 village. It is more than 100m high with three levels, surrounded by greenery. Coming here, visitors can immerse themselves in the sound of running water and bird songs.
The name of the waterfall comes from a sad love story when the region was established. A long time ago, there was a girl whose mother died. Feeling sorry for the daughter, her father stayed alone and brought her up. The more she grew, the more beautiful she became. All the men in the region fell for her, and sought her hand in marriage. But she loved a man whose family was in a long-lasting feud with hers. So their love was strongly protested by the two families and they could not be together.
The happy girl gradually became depressed and started to die inside. One day, while her father was at work, she wore her most beautiful clothes to the mountain, and killed herself in the waterfall.
And so Tạt Nàng Waterfall was named. In the Thai language, tạt means waterfall while nàng indicates a beautiful woman. Today, tourists come to enjoy the cool and pure water and listen to stories about the legendary lovers.
