The name of Ba Ho appears because of the strange “structure” of the stream. From the top, the stream flows along the mountainside to pour into the sea but on the flowing road, there are 3 times the stream bulges out and forms three extremely beautiful and large lakes with gentle flow. The names of three lakes are Ho Nhat, Ho Nhi and Ho Ba. More specifically, each landscape is different. Nature surrounds the lake sometimes as the forest, sometimes the cliffs are stunned.
The lakes are connected by creek cliffs. If you want to visit all three lakes in your Nha Trang city tour, you should prepare a pair of shoes, gloves and good health because the lakes are constructed across the mountain. It’s because the only way to go all three is to climb the mountain. However, although the mountain road is high but not too steep, the forest is open and going in the direction of the stream, you will not be afraid of being lost. When bathing in streams, you should also be careful because there are reefs.
