DATANLA WATERFALL

According to a legend, the waterfall had a deep cave hidden in the forest so it was one of the shelters of a troop of local inhabitants in the war with the The Chams; thanks to this waterfall the troop can reside a pressure on their force. Therefore, the minorities call it Datanla meaning the water under the leaves, the eater under the stone. The natural place where the waterfall is located is very beautiful, and full of green- pine woods. Datanla waterfall has a 20-meter drop and According to the legend. There is also a deep chasm called Dead Cave at its foot. Otherwise, taking the advantage of the waterfall, a native military in the war with the The Chams people took refuge and preserved their force, according to the legend.

The name of the waterfall, Datanla, means water under the leaves, name that explains the origin of the falls, based on three Vietnamese legends.

Datanla waterfall, where the valiant man K’Lang and his mountainous beloved Hobiang met each other, witnessed the fierce battle between K’Lang and a group of wild beasts, including 2 evil-cobras, 7 wolves and 2 foxes. According to folk-tales of ethnic community group here, it was the most fierce fight had ever taken place in trees were fallen and the wind was “shouting” thunderously. Lang held a knife to cut off the heads of these snakes, and then took a bow and arrows to shoot wolves and foxes. Many deep pits were created at the foot of the waterfall and one of those deep pits is named Death Canyon. Since then Datanla has become a dating place for couples and it later creates the legendary Lang Biang Mountain.

Datanla used to be called “Da Tam N’nha” by the native people. The Kho who had been living there told that: in the old time, fairies usually came there to take a bath. But people didn’t know that there was a stream under the leaves. So, when native people discovered “the water under the leaves”. Later, the word “Da Tam N’nha” was pronounced to “Datania” and then changed to “Datanla”. It has become the official name until now.

It’s a legend that, under the rule of Poreme, The Chams people from Panduranga (Phan Rang) usually attacked Lat people, and Chil people living in the Lang Biang Plateau because The Chams people wanted to invade their lands and arrested slaves. While Lach was going to lose because of a lack of water, they accidentally discovered a waterfall “under the leaves”, so the Lat peple won in the battle and protected their people. At the end, to show their gratitude to the waterfall, Lat and Chil people always reminded their descendants about Datanla in their folk-tales.
