The Emerald Waterfall that I've fallen in Love
| Cascading Kuang Si Waterfall during Early Winter |
The cascading Emerald Waterfall in the limestone basin among the forest outside the heritage town tempts the visitors to come to swim and enjoy a lot of freshness. Who can ignore great fun activity waiting there?
I booked a flight from Bangkok to Luang Prabang in early November. Although the influence of the rainy season is somewhat, I walk through the sizzle rain in Luang Pra Bang until almost fever. But to make sure Kwang Si waterfall would still be full of water. This time is the best of the trip.
| Kuang Si Waterfall Parking Lot and Market |
It was a sunny day, dry and cool weather. Beginning of waterfall trip, started at the parking lot, through the park entrance into a bear conservation camp before reaching the waterfall area where allowing visitors to swim safely. Highlight of the place is the large cascading waterfall, strong currents, falling into the bottom with a bang and beauty.
| Walkway Surrounded by Forest |
From here, there is a pathway to upper waterfalls and deep forests. As limited time, there is not much tourists spend time with this trail.
Laos is rich with several perfect waterfalls. Natural environment and a few millions of population in this country, waterfalls are still filled with enormous amounts of water. My Southern Laos trip a few years ago, I couldn’t see the waterfall even standing in close proximity. It was so foggy from the high amount of falling water attack the basin.
Besides the waterfall, my favorite thing in Laos is grilled bananas sold at waterfall sites. Fresh, very tasty, recommend.
