[Private] Elephant riding, Pak Ou Caves, Kuang SI Falls (F06)

This package includes a must visit to the scenic Kuang Si Falls and Buddha Cave on the outskirts of Luang Prabang, a Mekong River cruise, and an elephant ride in one day. The difference from the F17-1 and F17-2 tours is that the Mekong River cruise is shortened to only the highlights, but an elephant ride is included instead.

We will pick you up at your accommodation between 8:30 am. and depart for Manifa Elephant Camp. Along the way, stop at Ban Xang Hai (Whiskey Village), also known as Whiskey Village. Here, you can see the making process of Lao Lao, the country’s beloved rice whiskey, and maybe even enjoy an early morning tasting.

Then, continue to Manifa Elephant Camp for an elephant ride (using a two-seater chair) and feeding experience. After about an hour of experience, transfer by boat to Pak Ou Caves on the Mekong River. Along the way, you will witness breathtaking views of the tranquil countryside and mystical nature. After a 30-minute boat ride, you will arrive at Pak Ou, the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Ou Rivers. Pak Ou Caves are two connected caves filled with thousands of lacquered Buddha statues of various shapes and sizes left by devout pilgrims.

After approximately 40 minutes exploring the cave, the boat will enter the Ou River to see the spectacular limestone cliffs. Then a 30-minute boat ride down the Mekong River will take us to Manifa elephant camp for lunch. Enjoy a buffet lunch at the restaurant with a view of the Mekong River and free-roaming elephants.

This adventure destination package takes you to Kuang Si Waterfall. We will have 2 hours to explore the three-tiered waterfall, walk along a nature preserve trail, swim in refreshing turquoise puddles, and visit a bear conservation center.

On our way back into Luang Prabang, we will stop at Ban Na Uang (Hmong resettlement village). Here you can meet the Hmong people who originally lived in the highlands. After returning to Luang Prabang, drop-off points are the post office on the main street, near the night market, or at your accommodation (by prior arrangement or on request).
