Enjoying the fresh air and pristine natural scenery at Thac Ba Lake is one of the interesting experiences you should try once. Referring to Thac Ba Lake, people often evoke a poetic, majestic scene, symbolizing the rustic beauty of the Central Highlands. According to the travel experience of many young people, the most suitable time to move to Gia Lai and explore Thac Ba Lake is in the summer. The dry season in Gia Lai is from March to August. At this time, the water flow is relatively stable. On the contrary, from August to December, Thac Ba Lake often has heavy rain and strong, extremely dangerous water currents. Therefore, you should limit visiting Thac Ba Lake at these times. Thac Ba Lake not only provides a huge water source to help villagers here have a more fulfilling life. Most of the water from the lake will serve irrigation and daily activities for their lives. Not only that, Thac Ba Lake also contributes to improving the air environment, reducing the temperature here by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius compared to normal. The temperature combined with the cool blue water will make the air here always fresh and pleasant. Up to now, Thac Ba Lake is still a famous waterfall in Gia Lai, still retaining the wild features of the Central Highlands. This is a tourist destination that hides interesting things, attracting many young people with passion and desire to explore nature. Therefore, for those who are passionate about learning about the outside world and want to set foot on Thac Ba Lake to discover many interesting things, the road to get here is a small challenge you need to overcome. From the center of Chu Pah district, you move about 8 kilometers along the road to LaLy Hydroelectric Power Plant, then turn left and you will immediately see the waterfall. According to local people, Thac Ba Lake has existed for a long time, but people have only discovered the beauty of the waterfall in recent years. After all that time, Thac Ba Lake is still peaceful hidden behind the endless green forests of this Central Highlands region. Perhaps that is why Thac Ba Lake still retains its somewhat wild, magical and poetic beauty. For those who have visited Thac Ba Lake, this place seems completely different from Princess Waterfall in Gia Lai. Although the nature of Thac Ba Lake is not as aggressive as other waterfalls, somewhere this place still retains a bit of its own aggressiveness. Thac Ba Lake often randomly releases white foam, creating a spreading cool breeze. Stone blocks of all shapes and sizes mark evidence of time. The rays of sunlight shine through, making the waterfall become even more shimmering silver, a thousand times brighter and more sparkling. The trees around the lake are green like an endless carpet of vegetation, small birds are flying in the clear blue sky, singing soft and peaceful melodies. All the sounds and sights here create a wonderful natural picture that holds everyone's footsteps.
