Kuang Xi waterfall

by picek

It takes some 30 km from Luang Prabang and between 45 min to 1 hr driving to get to this gorgeous place.Water is abundant here, in dry season you may wish to stay here during the hottest hours of a day to swim in some of the pools created by water running through limestone bedrock.It's is impressive, this Tad Kuang Xi (Kuang Si).

Elephant Village in Ban Xieng Lom

Some views are quite lovely here and area is green. We only stoped here for feeding but there're whole range of programmes if you want to do more - some offer ride on elephant back (in the basket-chair) to Tad Xe fall, others include swimming and coffee there, visit to minority village and another will teach you mahout training and stuff like that for example. It depends how much time you have and how much money you want to spend: from one hour to whole day or more. Check out their web page for more details and prices. Some mahouts (and elephants too) here at camp come from Sayabouly province which was famous for largest wild elephants populations - and they had learnt mahoutship from their fathers...
