KuangSi Waterfall Insight (1 day)

We depart from Green Discovery Laos in Luang Prabang and after a 1 hour drive into the hills west of Luang Prabang, the trek starts with a visit of the Khmu village of Ban Longlao Nung. Close by lies the Hmong village Ban Longlao Song. You can observe the life styles of these two culturally very different minority groups. Despite these differences, the villagers work together and share the same school.

From this rural setting, the trail leads passing rice fields and vegetable gardens before reaching the forested mountains with some steeper parts. A cave is explored on the way, which during the Second Indochina War, served as a bomb shelter for the villagers living in this valley.

One more hour of trekking takes you to the crystal clear water of just one of the springs that feed the Kuang Xi waterfall: a beautiful pool full of big sacred fish. After descending from the top of the waterfall, a Lao style lunch is served its lush setting.

The afternoon is spent bathing and relaxing by the turquoise pools below. See the bear sanctuary just by the entrance gate.

Before you return to Luang Prabang, we take a walk to nearby Khmu village, Ban Thapene that lies around some of the most beautiful pools of Tad Kuangsi
