The elephant ride followed by kayaking will make for an exciting exploration of mountainous region around Luang Prabang. Today we depart hotel at 8h30 and drive towards Lao Spirit Resort, 15 km out of town. This property is set in a wonderful mountainous surrounding. On arrival we see the Asian Elephants and begin a scenic ride of an hour and half along the Nam Khan River though the lush and green forests to the amazing Tad Sae waterfall.

This water sport gives a great views of the wonderful landscape and villages close up. The trip ends on arrival in Luang Prabang. (L) |
