Recommended Itineraries

Day 1 Full Day Elephant mahout experience 

Day 2 Cycling & Kayak to Pak Ou Caves, Sunset Cruise

If your interest is elephants, it would be a good idea to choose a full day elephant experience for both days. Our camp manager will be flexible to offer different elephant experience each day for you. Kuang Si Waterfalls is far from our elephant camp, so we recommend visiting there on a separate day from Luang Prabang (You can charter a tuk tuk or join with our tour), but it is an must-visit in Luang Prabang so if your stay in Luang Prabang is short, we recommend to choose it on the morning of the first day.
