Spectacular and Stunning Kuang Si Waterfalls in Luang Prabang

A visit to Kuang Si Waterfalls promises one of the most unforgettable natural experiences in Laos. Just 30 kilometers from Luang Prabang, the waterfall cascades down multiple tiers of limestone, forming emerald pools perfect for swimming and soaking in cool, crystal-clear water.

Beyond the breathtaking views, visitors can trek through forest trails, explore the Bear Rescue Center, or enjoy a picnic by the stream. A short hike leads to the top of the falls, offering panoramic views of the surrounding jungle. Local vendors nearby offer snacks, drinks, and traditional Lao food.

Entrance fee: 25,000 kip (~1.25 USD) per person. Open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Best visited in the dry season (Nov–May) when the water is turquoise and trails are easy to walk.
