Places to visit in Nong Khiaw

This is a Zen-style garden which echoes peace and serenity from its every corner. You can sit here and rest your aching limbs from a long hike while enjoying the calmness of this area to refresh yourself and restore that adventurous holiday spirit. It is just a turn off of the Sunset Guest House in Nong Khiaw.

This amazing attraction in Laos was opened for tourists only recently in 2008. Although as the name suggests it is not a 100 waterfalls but just one continuous fall. The way to visit it is by going on an amazing trip that is often claimed to be a “once in a lifetime experience”. 

As found in the other cities of Laos, Nong Khiaw also has a large number of caves around the town one of which is the Patok cave. A note of advice to the travellers some reviewers reveal that the local poor children often act as ticket officers asking for charges to visit this place, so be aware.

The whole of Nong Khiaw has its natural authenticity well maintained and has somewhat a rustic feel all together. Although some of the modern day bare necessities are now available here, but most of its natural beauty and charm remains unchanged. You can rent a bicycle and explore this small two street village and drench in its natural beauty which is spiked by the surrounding lime stone peaks and green stretches throughout the entire area. The beautiful Nam Ou River splits this town into two halves and when you cross the connecting big concrete bridge the view from its top is compelling. One can say that this village is still at the crossroads between being a charming little village and being a major tourist spot.
