Day Trip to Kuang Si Falls

During our stay in Luang Prabang, we decided to explore one of the most popular attractions in the area - Kuang Si Falls, located just a few kilometers outside of town.

Kuang Si Falls is an incredible three-tiered waterfall with a total height of 35 meters, surrounded by lush jungle and forest. In dry season, there are several smaller drops and pools but during wet season, these all become one magnificent waterfall surrounded by deep green vegetation and bright colorful flowers. The area has a wide variety of wildlife and birds, making it a great spot for nature lovers to explore.

There is also an animal rescue center nearby, where local staff raise and care for endangered species such as the sun bears, which made for an interesting visit - I bought a shirt in support of their efforts.

After enjoying the lower waterfalls we took on a more challenging endeavor. We climbed to the top of the waterfall, where we were rewarded with a spectacular bird's eye view from above the main waterfall. The climb down with flip flops on steep dirt slopes were challenging at times.

There were plenty of visitors, and it was nice to see people out enjoying these majestic waterfalls. Our visit to the Kuang Si Falls was fun and the perfect spot for to enjoy some amazing waterfalls.Read more
