What to expect

We will drive from Luang Prabang to the Khmu village of Ban Nong Heo. Upon arrival, you will have time to explore the village, where traditional stilt houses, freely roaming ducks and buffalo, and villagers at work provide an authentic glimpse into rural Lao life.

From the village, we will set off on a 2-3 hour gentle hike. This hidden trail winds through forested hills and scenic countryside.

Here, nestled by the water in a tranquil outdoor setting, you’ll find an open-air restaurant run by a local Khmu family—a place rarely seen by other visitors. Enjoy an lunch (choice of dishes) in this natural plaza, knowing your meal directly supports the local community.

After lunch, you’ll reach the top of the falls and descend to the main cascades. Enjoy 3 hours of free time.

The journey continues as we follow the water's path to the Kuang Si Heritage Rice Farm. You'll see firsthand the vital connection between the forest, the water, and the local way of life.

Conclude your day with a sunset cruise, returning to Luang Prabang around 6:30 PM. This gentle journey back on the Mekong perfectly captures the tranquil spirit of your adventure.
