Khone Phapheng Waterfalls in 4000 Islands

Stand in awe before the massive Khone Phapheng Falls, recognized as the largest waterfall in Southeast Asia, where the Mekong River unleashes hundreds of rapids over a 10 km stretch and drops up to 21 meters — a spectacle unmatched in scale.

Beyond simply watching, you can walk across scenic platforms, join a kayak tour through cascading waters (seasonal, around $20–25 per person), or observe traditional fishing techniques from bamboo scaffolds built near the currents. Nearby, you can visit the sacred Manikhote tree, over 2,000 years old, or relax at riverside cafés that offer a perfect place to unwind.

The entrance fee is approximately 50,000 LAK (~6 EUR) and the site is open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The best time to visit is from November to March, when the weather is dry and the trails are easy to access.

This immersive experience is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone eager to feel the power and poetry of the Mekong in motion.
