Southeast Asia Itineraries: From 2 Weeks to 3 Months

"The Kuang Si Falls blew me away — a series of gently cascading limestone pools set in lush jungle that were among the most breathtaking scenes I saw in Laos; it’s very popular (avoid weekends if you can) and well worth a day trip." - Matthew Kepnes

The Cost of Traveling Laos in 2025

"When I went to Kuang Si Waterfall in Luang Prabang, I found it was about 50% cheaper to organize the trip myself instead of taking a tour; a shared ride to Kuang Si Waterfalls cost around 140,000 LAK, and entrance fees to attractions in the area generally ran about 20,000–60,000 LAK." - Matthew Kepnes

Some of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of people, too many people After seeing the waterfall I recommend going up 542 steps where there is almost no one, you can swim in the water and you can visit the restaurant in the trees with a view of the mountains

A little too much water for the waterfall to handle, the bears don’t mind, they slept through the whole thing. We took the side trail(or what was left of it), a good side quest for jungle exploring and seeing the flooded sitting area(great for chess btw), I would highly recommend to go that way, but only for those who can follow the underwater path.

Beautiful place. When we arrived, the waterfall was very wild so swimming was not possible. Also, next to the waterfall there is a 580 steps to the top. Do not go here, it is not worth it unless you want to go down by zipline ($25). You need to pay $2 for entrance to viewing point, which shows you no more as Luang Prabang Kuang Si viewing point, and gives no view on the waterfall at all. During your trip to the waterfall you will see mooi and sun bears, these rescued bears have a good life here. Would recommend to take a look (no extra price).

Kuang Si Falls is truly breathtaking, with turquoise waters cascading down in stunning layers of natural beauty. The scenery feels refreshing and magical at the same time. What made the visit even more special was meeting the adorable bears at the nearby sanctuary — they brought so much joy and made the experience unforgettable.

A beautiful place to visit, with the rescued bears being a real highlight. There are plenty of spots to swim, though during rainy season the water can be a little muddy and powerful. Everything is well-organised, and there are some nice food options just before you reach the main waterfall!

This trip to Laos has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life! 🤯 I never imagined this country could be so mind-blowing. It truly feels like an underrated gem of the world. Being here made me realize that I’ve barely explored even 10% of this beautiful planet, and now I’m inspired to travel even more. Laos is a land full of natural beauty majestic mountains, peaceful rivers, and greenery that makes you feel alive. Every sunrise and sunset here feels like nature’s artwork, leaving me speechless. But what touched my heart the most were the Lao people. They are incredibly humble, kind, and always ready to help with a smile. Their warm and welcoming nature makes this country feel like home, even for a traveler like me. I’m running out of words to describe how magical Laos truly is. It’s not just a place you visit it’s a feeling you carry with you forever. ❤️

I visited in mid-August, right in the middle of the rainy season. The waterfall was so impressive, I was amazed by the sheer volume of water. The water was so high I couldn't walk along the river. Renting a motorbike is also a fun way to get around. It's easy to get lost, and it only takes about 50 minutes from the old town, even if you drive slowly.

While you miss the iconic blue pools in the rainyseason, the lush green scenery and the sheer power of the falls can be an awe-inspiring sight in itself. The falls are at their most powerful and impressive, with a massive volume of water thundering over the cascades
