Those stopping overnight at Pakbeng on a Mekong cruise have a great reason to spend a full…Khamtan Buddha Cave. Half and full-day tours take you to the hidden haven for locals during the Indochina War.

Prayers to Buddha asking for protection from the bombings led to its name, “Phachao (Buddha) Khamtan (Valuable Protective Shield)”. Tour depart from Pakbeng by tuk-tuk to Pak Ngeuy and its two temples before a short boat ride and walk along the Mekong to Phachao Khamtan Cave. The full-day tour follows the same itinerary before trekkers embark on a 5-6 hour march through nature.
