Kuang Si Waterfall

Our guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in Luang Prabang around 8:00am. You will take a short drive through the Luang Prabang countryside to Kuang Si Waterfalls (32km southwest of the city). Along the way, you will pass through beautiful landscapes of rice fields, hills, and small villages. There are also view points overlooking the Mekong River.

Stop en-route to visit a small village which is home to one of the area’s many ethnic minorities. You will have an opportunity to learn about their traditions and culture, much of which has remained unchanged for centuries.

On arrival at Kuang Si Waterfall, relax and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings. The water tumbles down a large drop and cascades gently in to several cool, clear pools where you can enjoy a refreshing swim. After enjoying picnic lunch next to the falls, you will also visit the bear sanctuary which is next to the falls, run by Free The Bears Fund Inc. There are currently 23 Asiatic Black Bears living in the sanctuary, which has saved them from poaching. The main threat to these bears is poaching due to the use of their bile in Chinese medicine. You can read about their habits and observe their playful nature, whilst learning about the difficulties they are facing. Return to Luang Prabang. End of services.
