Located 30 km south from Luang Prabang, Khuang Si is the most popular water waterfall of the country. After an adventurous trek through the mangrove forest, you break over the stunning turquoise water smoothly tumbling over low stone stairs. The largest lagoon offers the possibility to swing from a liana in the sparkling water. After a nice swim, the track continues while the shade is protecting you from the sun. The intense and unexpected flow brings the water down in a large pool where you can enjoy a fresh swim again.

Your adventure tour to Laos is a perfect occasion to discover Tad Fane waterfalls. Nestled deeply in the jungle of the Bolaven Plateau, this double waterfall has very intense and striking flows. From the Tad Fane resort, the astonishing landscape spreads before your eyes’ view while you are supervised by an experienced guide to take a half-day trek to reach the falls. Tad Fane is a long walk from the resort and for this reason, very few people swim in its pure water.
