In Laos there is a wonderful waterfall, that deserves the attention of all curious tourists and nature lovers. It is the Kuang Si Falls, located in the surroundings of Luang Prabang province, and is one of its most striking and popular sights. The waterfall begins on the top of a steep hill and consists of 50 cascades, which alternate with incredibly beautiful basins of turquoise colour. Despite the fact that for a calcareous tuff such a number of cascades is not something outstanding, this does not in the least diminish the uniqueness of Kuang Si Falls.
The waterfall is located in a picturesque forest. Next to it some picnic areas are equipped. In addition, some waterfall pools are suitable for bathing, which is actively used not only by local residents, but also by many tourists. Fans of hiking will definitely not be bored. They can climb a specially laid path to the top of the cliff and admire the waterfall from a height. Next to the waterfall are still a lot of interesting sights, including ancient caves.
Particularly interesting are nearby settlements. Local villages are ideal places to get to know the everyday life of the indigenous population. Recently, a small hotel was opened next to the waterfall, so fans of recreation in picturesque natural places will have a great opportunity to stay in the reserve for a few days. The best time to visit the falls is from August to November.
