The Tad Kuang Xi is a 30 meter high waterfall, famed for its limestone formations and beautiful turquoise pools. This one day trek to Kwang Si Waterfall passes through Hmong and Khamu villages, green forests and mountain tops with a refreshing ending at the waterfall. Our guide is there to enhance your experience and interpret natural and cultural sites along the way. We have a family Lao lunch at a Hmong village. The trek is 4-5 hours of walking.
Depart from Luang Prabang in the mid-morning and drive about thirty minutes on the road towards Kwang Si Waterfall to Ban Nong Heo, a Khamu village where you will start the trek. Hike through village community forests and fields for 1.5 hours to Ban Long Lao, a Hmong village. We have some rest and enjoy a family style Lao lunch prepared by the villagers, and learn about traditional Hmong textile production. Continue on through thick forests climbing to the top of a mountain from where you will have excellent views of the area.
Descend from the hills to a natural spring perfect for a brief rest and afternoon swim. Finally arrive at the famous Kwang Si waterfall, Luang Prabang's most beautiful natural site. Return to Luang Prabang by car in the late afternoon.
