Kuang Si Waterfalls Guide

The best season to visit Kuang Si Waterfalls is during dry season (December – April) because the monsoon season has ended and the falls begin to settle. If you want to swim during the monsoon season, Tad Sae Waterfalls is a good alternative in Luang Prabang. Time of day to visit. During the tourist season in Luang Prabang (it’s winter), it’s crowded at any time, but mornings are often relatively empty. However, mornings in December-January can be too cold to swim.
