Have a superb visit, in a natural place, far from the city. A beautiful place run by a Laotian family.

But the great happiness comes from being able to get so close to the elephants, to walk with them, to discover the magnificent landscapes where they live.

A very demanding path, which is kept in good shape with ropes, handrails, and stairs to the first lookout point. For the second lookout point, you need a little more skill and perseverance, as there are fewer aids such as ropes, handrails, etc. Wear good shoes and bring enough water with you. The effort is really worth it because the view is magnificent.
4. Tham Nam (Water cave)

During the rainy season, the cave is close because the water is so high that it is dangerous to try tubing.
