Laos is one of the most underrated countries in Southeast Asia, but you won’t be disappointed if you decide to pay it a visit. Its natural beauty knows no bounds, and you’ll be especially impressed by it if you enjoy chasing waterfalls because it has quite a few in store.
Kuang Si Falls
One of Laos’ top tourist attractions, Kuang Si Falls has to be seen to be believed. This natural wonder consists of three-tiered hillside waterfalls, cascading into turquoise water pools underneath, many of which are open for swimming. There are also walkways and bridges guiding you around the waterfalls and offering stunning views.
Khon Phapheng Falls
Khone Phapheng Falls is best known for being the widest waterfall in the world, and it also happens to be the largest in Southeast Asia. Unlike Kuang Si, it’s best admired from a distance because its rapids are difficult to navigate.
Tat Sae Waterfalls
If you’re looking for a calm and scenic waterfall that you can enjoy in Laos, Tat Sae Waterfalls perfectly fit that description. Their waters flow over limestones and form varied swimming pools underneath. There’s also an elephant sanctuary in their close proximity, which gives you one more reason to explore Tat Sae.
