Phousi Hill

It’s full of tourist at sunset and its obvious why, is the best place to see the entire town and how the sun goes down in the Mekong River. It’s better to climb up from the south as it has a lot to see (temples, Buddha statues, a relic, a cave, etc). The price entrance is 20.000 kip but it seems it’s not enforced for everyone.

Included in the MUST SEE list of Luang Prabang’s special features, this slightly strenuous walk is well worth the effort. When you reach the top after about 25 minutes (including rest stops) you get a very clear idea of how panoramic and beautiful the whole valley is. No wonder it was originally chosen as the capital 400+ years ago.

This place has amazed me. Being so close to mother nature. A perfect place to enjoy a panoramic view of the city. Do not forget to carry your sun glasses as the sun light is quite intense.

Nothing spectacular. But very good for sunsets or sunrise.You gotta pay 10.000 kip to go up, a lot of stairs. The view is very good tho

Lots of steps to get up, and you pay a small fee to get in. Very good few from the top and we really enjoyed it.

Would recommend waking up at 5.30am to watch the sunrise unless you want to go during evening with full pack of tourist.

Absolutely beautiful up there for sunset and sunrise as you will be able to see the panorama view of the city with magnificent mountains scenery from behind.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the top of the mountain. The sunset is around 5:30 PM, so if you want to see the sunset, you need to check the time. Enterance fee is 20,000 kip (per person). They sell things at the beginning of the route, but you don't need to buy them essentially. If you go up the stairs a little, there is a place where you pay the entrance fee.
