Kuang Si Waterfall
Southwest of Luang Prabang, Laos
Kuang Si’s stepped cascades and shaded pools make a refreshing change from town. Walk through the forest towards the main waterfall, stopping at smaller falls along the way. Water colour and swimming conditions vary with the season, so follow signs identifying permitted pools and any temporary restrictions. Allow time to visit the bear rescue centre within the waterfall grounds. Arrange your return transport before leaving Luang Prabang and bring footwear suitable for wet paths.
