Luang Prabang: Kryssning till Pak Ou-grottorna och Kuang Si-vattenfallen
Beskrivning
En heldagstur till Pak Ou-grottorna och Kuang Si-vattenfallen. Vi avgår från Luang Prabangs båtbrygga på morgonen. Flytande längs Mekongfloden kommer du att bli kär i det vackra landskapet i Luang Prabang. Stanna till en by "Ban Xang Hai" för att prova unik lokal riswhisky och risvin. Efteråt, utforska den mystiska grottan med lokal reseguide. Äter lunchbuffé på restaurangen med utsikt över Mekongfloden. På eftermiddagen tar vi en bil till vattenfallen och njuter av att bada i det svala vattnet. Klockan 17 åker vi till staden. Stanna till vid en Hmong-by på vägen. Vi kommer att träffa Hmong-folk i traditionella kläder och se deras lilla Hmong-museum. Ankomst till stadens centrum eller ditt hotell kl. 06.00. Det finns ett alternativ att besöka vattenfall på morgonen och grottor och solnedgångsbåtkryssning på eftermiddagen. Det här är samma upplevelse förutom att morgon- och eftermiddagsresplanerna byts om.

Resplan
En unik liten by vid stranden av Mekong-floden. Ban Xang Hai, även känd som whiskyby, är känd för sina hantverksprodukter som destillering och försäljning av whisky, handvävd tyg och smycken.
Dessa två grottor ligger cirka 25 km från Luang Prabang där Nam Ou floden rinner in i Meking. Resan på en långsiktig långbåt till grottor är bestämt pittoresk. Motoring upriver du kan se lokalbefolkningen fiske och lyssna på den glada laugher av barn stänker i vattnet. Grottorna är vördade över Laos och en mycket populär plats för turister och pilgrimsalike. Det finns cirka 4000 statyer av statyer i grottorna, mestadels av Buddha, många stycken täckta med tunt förgyllning. Den första grottan nås genom en brant trappa från flodens kant, medan den andra grottan är lite djupare inuti berget: ta med en torchilight!
Kuang Si-fallen, ibland stavad Kuang Xi eller känd som Tat Kuang Si-vattenfall, är ett tre nivåerat vattenfall cirka 29 kilometer söder om Luang Prabang. När du når fall kan du koppla av och njuta av den magnifika naturen. Vattnet trumlar ner och kaskader försiktigt i flera svala, klara pooler där du kan njuta av en uppfriskande simtur. Den äventyrliga kan gå till toppen av fallen via en brant spår där fantastisk utsikt väntar på dem. Kuang Si Waterfalls är också en plats där ett räddningscenter för att skydda solbjörnar, den hotade arten, finns.
På vägen tillbaka från vattenfallet besöker vi en Hmong-by. Vi går genom byn och stannar till vid ett litet museum byggt av byborna. Vi lär oss av byborna klädda i traditionella dräkter om deras ursprungliga höglandsliv.

Fantastic whole day experience seeing Kuang Si Falls, meeting a baby elephant at Manifa sanctuary where we had a delicious lunch, visited Pak Ou caves and a whiskey village where we tasted 2 different whiskeys! Out guide Ben, was so friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind word . It means a lot to me to receive such thoughtful recognition from a valued client like you. Your words of appreciation have brightened my day and motivated me to continue doing my best. I truly believe that positivity can fuel success, and your gratitude has fueled my determination to achieve even greater heights in our work together. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to collaborate with someone as talented and dedicated as tour guide . Once again, thank you for your kind words. Your support and encouragement are invaluable to me.
Beautiful day on the waterfalls and the Mekong river …. The tour guide amazing name Bon!!! He was very enthusiastic and helpful in all aspects, very caring and kind . We love him The waterfalls are breathtaking, what a beauty in Laos . Also the long tail boat on the mekong river so beautiful and peaceful .. good opportunity for a relaxing on the journey all the way to the temples on the rock formation. I really recommend this tour and the company.
An absolutely unforgettable day in Luang Prabang! Our guide, Dang, was fantastic, incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout the trip. Seeing the rescued bears and feeding the elephants were wonderful, heartwarming experiences. The ultimate highlight of our tour was the sunset cruise back down the Mekong River. It rained just a little bit, which rewarded us with a stunning, picture perfect double rainbow over the water. We also enjoyed visiting the village of the Hmong people. The only minor downside was the lunch. While it offered several options, the food quality wasn't the best. However, they did have an excellent cold drink selection and ice cream to make up for it. Overall, it is a highly recommended tour. LandLTravelWithAloha
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! 🌈💚We’re thrilled you had an unforgettable day with Dang — we’ll pass your kind words to him. He really loves sharing Luang Prabang with guests and we’re glad he made the day so helpful and special for you.Seeing the rescued bears, feeding the elephants at the sanctuary, visiting the Hmong village, and that sunset cruise on the Mekong sound like the perfect mix. And a double rainbow in the rain?! That’s pure Luang Prabang magic. We’re so glad you got to see it ✨Thank you also for the honest note about lunch. We’re sorry it wasn’t up to standard. We’ve shared your feedback with the restaurant team so they can improve the food quality while keeping those cold drinks and ice cream coming!We’re so glad that overall you’d highly recommend the tour. Hope the rest of your time in Laos was just as memorable, and we’d love to welcome you back someday.Warm regards,The Manifa Travel Team
This tour exceeded expectations! The falls in the morning is a MUST. You get to climb and walk at your own pace; all doable, and the winding roads towards the caves was worth it in my opinion as it was a trip lol but I am young and living through it alll! The buffet was vegan friendly and avoid the elephant if you can for their own protection :)
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! 💚We’re so glad the tour exceeded your expectations! Kuang Si Falls in the morning really is a MUST — having time to climb, swim, and go at your own pace makes it so special. And yes, those winding roads to Pak Ou Caves are part of the adventure 😄 Glad you enjoyed the ride!Appreciate you mentioning the vegan-friendly buffet too. We always try to offer options so everyone can enjoy lunch comfortably.We also hear you on the elephants. Their wellbeing matters a lot to us. We work with sanctuaries that focus on rescue and ethical, no-ride interactions only. If you ever want info on fully observation-only programs, just ask us next time you’re in LPB.Thanks again for the 100% recommendation. Hope the rest of your travels were just as amazing!Warmly, The Manifa Travel Team
This was nice. They drop you off at the different places and give you free time to explore. It’s not a guided tour which I really liked. Lunch was at an ”elephant sanctuary” which I thought was questionable. They said that the elephants could live freely in the forest and only came to the fence for snacks. However, they were obviously trained to perform tricks for tourists, like putting a hat on a person etc.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed parts of the day, but we’re sorry that the tour did not feel as guided as you expected. This itinerary includes several stops where guests are given free time to explore independently, but our guide should still provide clear background information and context at each place. We will review this with the guide team so future guests receive better explanations about the sites, the Mekong, and the flow of the day. Regarding the elephant camp lunch stop, we would like to clarify that our elephants are not kept for circus-style performances. They live in a forest-and-river environment under the daily care of experienced mahouts, and interactions with guests are meant to be calm, limited, and closely supervised. If you saw any moment that appeared staged or inappropriate, we take that seriously and will review it with our team. Thank you again for your honest comments. They help us improve both our guiding and how we explain the elephant care model more clearly to visitors.
a very good set of activities, properly organized. it looked beautiful! Waterfall 10/10 Boat 10/10 Cave 9/10 Lunch 7/10 Transport 9/10
This was an awesome tour! The day was filled with activities and the boat ride was very peaceful. The lunch was excellent and I also was able to see and feed the elephants. Ended the day with the waterfalls, rice farm and sunset cruise. Highly recommend! The tour guide Von was great and knowledgeable.
It was a really good tour. The cruise back to Luang Prabang was out of this world with the beautiful surroundings. Enjoyed myself thoroughly, thank you.
