The Kuang Si Falls collects in numerous turquoise blue pools as it flows downstream

The Kuang Si Waterfalls, sometimes spelled Kuang Xi, is a three tier waterfall about 29 kilometres (18 miles) south of Luang Prabang in Laos. These waterfalls are a favourite side trip for tourists in Luang Prabang. The falls begin in shallow pools atop a steep hillside. These lead to the main fall with a 50 m cascade. The water collects in numerous turquoise blue pools as it flows downstream. The many cascades that result are typical of travertine waterfalls. Most people like it in Laos tour.

The multi-tiered falls are a quite spectacular site to behold; wet or dry season, there will be cool water wherein many locals and tourists can enjoy a quick dip or swim. There are plenty of benches surrounding the stretch of the falls and river to enjoy a picnic. There’s a bit of a trail that runs along the length of the park, with an enclosed area at one end which houses a few black bears in an attempt at a rescue center. There is stall food sold by a few vendors at the park. All in all, an enjoyable afternoon can be had at the Kuang Si Waterfalls. At least your feet will get wet so bring a change of clothes (the park offers changing rooms).
At the Kuang Si Falls, a pool of turquoise water eddies at the base of one large waterfall in a spectacular forest setting. The water then flows through a series of natural cascades that appear stepped like hillside rice paddies. Just outside Luang Prabang, the falls’ turquoise water flows pleasantly around you while you bathe in the shallow pools or swim in the deep. And for the game few, the rope swing over the lowest pool will bring out their inner Laotian Tarzan. And perhaps, after a walloping splash, a giddy smile or two. Great fun in a mesmerising setting.
