Waterfalls in Laos

The falls we've researched and rated - each one with an honest read on how hard it is to reach, when to go, and what it really takes.

Kuang Si Falls
Laos · Luang Prabang ~45 min

A tiered cascade of impossibly turquoise pools stepping down through the jungle outside Luang Prabang - swim between the tiers, then meet the rescued bears next door.

Tad Fane
Laos · Pakse (PKZ) ~1-1.5h

Twin parallel streams plunging 120 metres side by side into a jungle gorge on the Bolaven Plateau - Laos's coffee country, cool and green above the Mekong lowlands.
