Ban Gioc Waterfall Vietnam

Ban Gioc

Ban Gioc Waterfall forms part of the China Vietnam border. The waterfalls are over 300m in width and listed as the largest transnational waterfall in Asia.
Ban Gioc is 123 km from Cao Bang the largest town close to the waterfalls and a good staging point for visiting this area. It will take more than 3 hours to drive to Ban Gioc from Coe Bang due to road condtions.

There are a number of tour companies that can arrange a trip to Ban Gioc from Hanio. The trip will take a couple of days and give the traveller a great appreciation of the country and some stunning views of the karste mountains in this region.
