We depart from your accommodation at 8:30 am by Minivan to Ban Hat Kor for about 1 hour. From the village, we start kayaking on the Nam Ou River. We enjoy a breathtaking view of the tranquil countryside and see picturesque nature-built limestone cliffs called Pha Aen. We stop for a delicious picnic lunch at around noon.

After lunch and taking a relaxing break and swim, we carry onward once again. We continue paddling in a calmer section of the Nam Ou and then get to the confluence of the Nam Ou and Mekong rivers, Pak Ou.

Upon arrival at Pak Ou, we visit the famous Pak Ou Caves – two linked caves crammed with thousands of gold lacquered Buddha statues of various shapes and sizes left by devoted pilgrims. Exploring the caves for about 30 minutes, we start kayaking on the Mekong River. We paddle down the Mekong for 30 minutes until we ended our Kayak at Manifa Elephant Camp. There you can take a shower and change your clothes. In the late afternoon, we will take a boat to Luang Prabang. Enjoy the beautiful sunset over the Mekong River.
