This cultural immersion provides a profound understanding of Laos's diverse heritage, making your multi-day Luang Prabang tour more than just a sightseeing trip.

The journey continues with a visit to the stunning Tad Sae Waterfall, a series of cascading turquoise pools perfect for a refreshing dip after your jungle exploration. Surrounded by lush greenery, Tad Sae offers a picturesque setting for relaxation and photography, an idyllic oasis within the Laotian wilderness. This Luang Prabang waterfall tour segment provides a perfect balance of activity and tranquility.

The second day of your Luang Prabang adventure culminates in an exhilarating kayaking expedition along the serene Nam Khan River. As you paddle downstream, you'll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes – towering limestone karsts, dense jungle, and local life unfolding along the riverbanks. This Nam Khan River kayaking experience is suitable for all skill levels, with our guides ensuring your safety and enjoyment. It's an incredible way to absorb the natural beauty of Luang Prabang from a unique perspective.

Throughout this 2-day Luang Prabang tour, we prioritize responsible and sustainable tourism practices.

Day 1: From Luang Prabang to the dense jungle

 

We depart Luang Prabang at 8:30 AM from your hotel before heading north for approximately 1.5 hours. Once we reach the village, we begin our trek through local farms before arriving at the edge of the dense jungle. 

We will immerse ourselves in the beauty and diversity of the local flora and fauna. It is like venturing into another world under the canopy of huge trees where we will discover orchids, ferns, creepers, and more. If we are quiet we might be able to hear the sounds of birdlife, adding to the unique atmosphere in this wonderful forest. 

We will stop at a beautiful spot in the jungle for a Lao-style picnic lunch. For the next one and a half hours, we continue trekking through a bamboo forest before the trail starts making its way downhill to farming plots along the banks of the Nam Ou river. We cross the river on a longtail boat to reach a village on the other side where a local Tai Lue family will be our hosts for the night.

Approximately 1.5 hours driving and 4-5 hours trekking

Day 2: Paddle through Nam Ou’s life and culture

 

After breakfast, the guide will give you an introduction to the basics of kayaking and a safety briefing. We then head off downstream along the Nam Ou and will quickly encounter the first easy rapids!

 Along the way, we pass majestic cliffs and villages almost untouched by modern civilization. We paddle further downstream before pausing for a delicious picnic lunch at a beautiful white sandbank amidst really amazing surroundings!

 After lunch, we have some time to relax and swim in the cool waters of the river. The afternoon is spent paddling on a calmer section of the Nam Ou before the river joins the Mekong. Along the way, you have the opportunity to watch villagers fishing and harvesting river weed which is then dried and fried to become one of Luang Prabang’s most famous, and delicious dishes. We have the option to stop at the famous Pak Ou (Buddha) Cave to see the hundreds of Buddha statues.

 We continue paddling down the Mekong to visit a weaving and Lao whisky-making village. After a short stop here we continue for another 30 minutes downstream to Pak Xeung where our transport is waiting to pick us up and drive us back to Luang Prabang.

 Approximately: 1-hour transfer and 4-5 hours kayaking
