About this activity
JUNGLE TREK TO KUANG SI WATERFALL FROM LONG LAO VILLAGE
Starting from Luang Prabang, we drive to the nearby valley southeast of Luang Prabang. We arrive at the Long Lao Village where we begin our hiking tour. Before trekking we can explore the life and culture of this village where Khamu and Hmong people live. Also see the work of our Fair Trek project, a beautiful clay-built bungalow used for overnight tours to experience local village life and culture.
Continue trekking into the mountainous Lao countryside of Luang Prabang. Hiking along you will pass orchards, rice fields, and vegetable gardens and before reaching the forested mountains with quite wild jungle scenery and some graded climbs.
In the afternoon you will arrive at the crystal clear Kuang Si Waterfall. An exciting forest trail leads you to the end of your trek and your reward - the welcoming and refreshing pools of Kuang Si Waterfall where we will have plenty of time to relax and swim.
While in the Kuang Si Waterfall park, you should visit the Kuang Si Bear Rescue Sanctuary. You can find great information about Asian sun and moon bears and the Free the Bears protection program. You are welcome tosupport the project with a donation or by buying a real "Free The Bears" T-Shirt.
We’ll return late afternoon by vehicle with a stop along the way for a guided tour of an interesting small Hmong Museum built by locals to show their life and culture. The tour concludes late afternoon in Luang Prabang.
Total trekking distance is 9 km (5.5 mi) medium difficulty, slippery when wet.
