“A large waterfall that cascades 75 meters in beautiful emerald-green tiers, and is also home to a bear sanctuary that rescues animals from the illegal wildlife trade.”
Kuang Si Falls is one of the most stunning natural attractions in Luang Prabang. It is a large limestone waterfall, measuring up to 75 meters in height_ and cascading down in four tiers. The lower tiers form clear, emerald-green pools that are safe for swimming.
The atmosphere around the waterfall is lush and cool all year round, with dense tree cover that feels refreshing and relaxing. During the rainy season, the water flow is particularly strong, creating a misty spray that adds to the refreshing feel for visitors.
In addition to the waterfall's beauty, near the entrance is the Tat Kuang Si Bear Rescue Centre. This is a sanctuary that collects and cares for Asiatic black bears rescued from the illegal wildlife trade in various parts of Laos. This allows visitors to learn about and participate in wildlife conservation efforts.
