Highlights
  • Hmong Village School - In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in Luang Prabang at around 8 am and drive around 30 kilometres in western direction. En route, we stop at the local Hmong Village of Ban Na Ouane where we witness the daily life of this ethnic hill tribe of the northern part of Laos. A walk through the Luang Prabang’s lush jungle leads to Kuang Si which is considered as Laos’ most beautiful waterfall and a must-see visit for those staying in Luang Prabang.
  • Free the Bears - The trail passes untouched forests and the Asian Bear Rescue Centre until the picture-perfect setting of the falls is reached.
  • Kuang Si Falls - The falls begin in shallow pools atop a steep hillside which leads to the main fall with a 50 meter, three-tiered cascade. The water collects in numerous turquoise blue pools as it flows downstream. The many cascades that result are typical of travertine waterfalls with beautiful scenery; an abundance of flora and fauna surround the area.

After enjoying the scenery, you are free to take a swim in one of the nearby clear pools. There are also some hiking paths around the waterfalls, bringing each visitor deeper and closer with nature. Below the tiered limestone pools lies the Khmu village Ban Thapene. The Khmu men are especially good basket weavers and can sometimes be watched crafting these, still used in the daily lives of the Laotians.

Lunch will be served nearby the waterfall. One can enjoy the scenery around the waterfall for a short time before we head back in the direction of Luang Prabang.

Great personalised tour - Kuangsi falls was stunning and a must see. The tour arrives in the morning so you miss the crowds. I was travelling solo and ended up being the only one on the tour. The tour guide was great. The time was flexible to my schedule and I enjoyed all the stops. Lunch was at a great restaurant that served modern Lao food.

Perfect Peace - This is a wonderful place with surrounding scenery that encourages immediate restful feelings. Having been to the Black Bear Rescue Sanctuary. and been horrified by the way these wonderful creatures had been treated prior to being rescued, the waterfalls are an antidote and well worth the trip, which is not expensive and not too far.

Overpriced - Whilst our guide was good and the falls spectacular this trip was ludicrously overpriced. There was no need for a guide you could do it for a tenth of the price in a tuk-tuk.
