From Luang Prabang: Private Kuang Si Waterfall Trek & Free the Bears

1 day

Easy

Trek through Khmu and Hmong village country to Kuang Si Waterfall, swim in its pools and visit the bear centre on a private day for your group.
Leave Luang Prabang behind on a private tour for your group that reaches Kuang Si Waterfall on foot rather than by road. A drive into the nearby mountains brings you to Ban Long Lao, a village of Khmu and Hmong families, where you take time to learn about daily life and local culture. From here the trek winds across the hilly Lao countryside, passing orchards, rice fields and vegetable gardens and cutting through lush forest. At the end of the trail, the turquoise pools of Kuang Si Waterfall invite you to cool off with a swim. The day also includes a visit to the Free the Bears Visitor Center, where you can learn how rescued bears are cared for and about bear conservation in Laos. Highlights: - Private guided trek for your group from Luang Prabang to Kuang Si Waterfall - Meet Khmu and Hmong villagers in Ban Long Lao - Walk past orchards, rice paddies and vegetable gardens - Swim in the refreshing pools of Kuang Si Waterfall - Learn about bear conservation at the Free the Bears Visitor Center
