A two day tour around the Bolaven Plateau, visit various places along the way, coffee and tea plantations, waterfalls and ethnic villages. This tour has an overnight stay in Tad Lo.

 

Day 1: Departing Pakse at 8am, drive east by road to a local tea and coffee plantation where we can watch how the tea leaves and coffee beans are processed and then taste the finished product.

 

Next we will head to the famous Tad Fan Waterfall, where you will see two stunning cascades framed against the Bolaven Plateau dropping nearly 120m, making this one of the most spectacular sights in Laos.

We will move on to Tad Yuang, which has a beautiful swimming spot where we will relax and have lunch.

 

Then we will visit the ethnic village of Kok Pun Thai where you can see how people have lived for hundreds of years in small communities in this region. Chillies and peanuts are grown by the villagers and you can see the local school in session here and a traditional market. Next it's on to the magnificent Tad Lo Waterfall where we will spend the night.

 

Day 2: After a leisurely breakfast there is an optional elephant ride through the forest or a gentle walk before lunch.

 

The next stop is a village that is home to the Katu people who have a strong tradition of silk weaving using foot looms. The weaving in the south of Laos is known to be the best in the country. You can witness the local woman weaving the cloth and if you wish purchase some of the beautiful items for souvenirs.

 

After a full day it is time to return to Pakse but not before we visit Tad Paxuam, a distinctive circular shaped waterfall which is featured on many postcards of Laos. We will enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of Paxuam Resort on the banks of the river before returning to Pakse.
