Additional Information

Embark on a day-long excursion to the caves of Pak Ou and waterfalls of Kuang Si. We set off from the Luang Prabang boat pier in the morning. As you glide down the Mekong River, the breathtaking landscape of Luang Prabang will leave you awestruck. We’ll take a detour to the village ‘Ban Xang Hai’, where you’ll get a chance to sample local rice alcohol and rice wine. Following this, delve into the enigmatic cave with a local guide.

Feast on a buffet lunch at a restaurant that offers a stunning view of the Mekong river. Post lunch, we redirect our journey towards the waterfalls, where you can indulge in a refreshing swim in the chilly water. By 5pm, we’ll begin our journey back to the city, making a pitstop at a Hmong village on the way. Experience the Hmong culture firsthand as you interact with the locals dressed in traditional attire and visit their quaint Hmong museum. We’ll arrive at either the city center or your hotel by 6pm.

Alternatively, you can opt for a modified itinerary where the visit to the waterfall is scheduled for the AM and the cave exploration and sunset boat ride are moved to the PM. This variation offers the same activities but in a different sequence.

This tour is not hard at all. But it’s about 10 hours full day excursion including a long distance drive (60km). If old people and infants are in your group, please consider to choose 2 days split option or private option
