Many stairs lead to the temple, if the sky wasn't full of haze, one could surely experience a beautiful sunset.

Pha Kao Viewpoint
Hiking Highlight
Indescribably beautiful viewpoint in all directions. The climb is very demanding but well developed. Sturdy shoes are a must. I recommend anyone who is reasonably good on foot to make the journey here.

Mount Phousi
Hiking Highlight
Especially at sunset you have a fantastic view over Luang Prabang and the Mekong. But a LOT of other people appreciate that too... don't come too late, otherwise you won't see the sun but the heads of the others...

View of the Sleeping Lady and Nong Khiaw
Hiking Highlight
Challenging hike to View 1. The sign says 15 minutes walking time, which is about right. The route is not yet shown in Komoot. Great view of the city.
