Don‘t forget to visit the cave. A short steep walk from the lagoon.

Here you can cross the Nam Song River during the dry season.

This limestone cave is known for its unique, elephant-like rock formations, which give visitors a mystical and awe-inspiring atmosphere. Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes, the cave offers a blend of adventure and natural beauty. Tourists can admire the impressive golden Buddha statue and the famous elephant head.

A visit to the local night market is worthwhile - as always, there is a lot to see, even if you don't want to buy anything.

A small valley without noise (rare in the area) but I did not go to the lagoon because it was dry. Take the paths on the sides rather than walking on the pebbles. The climb to the viewpoint is worth it (starting with cement steps next to the abandoned toilets), then dirt steps then no more steps at all. Progression in a chaos of rocks where you can help yourself with your hands. No loose stones. 100 m after the viewpoint sign at 50 m, you arrive by rocks and ladders at a solid platform made of planks. There is an even more dizzying balustrade but the ramps seem to be in poor condition. The view is already impressive! It's worth it

Entrance fee 20,000 Kip (01/2025). You can also buy drinks at the top.
