I'll show you the part of Luang Prabang that doesn't fit on a postcard.

Ce que tu feras

Qu'y a-t-il dans ce voyage.

  • Leave Luang Prabang at 8:00 AM, arriving Kuang Si before the tour buses (typically 10:30 AM)

  • Trail to the upper falls — 45 minutes, easy grade, well-maintained
  • Lunch at a riverside village restaurant Bounmy's family has eaten at for 20 years
  • Bear rescue center stop on the return (optional, free entry)
  • Back in Luang Prabang by 3:00 PM — afternoon free for your own pace

À propos de cette tournée

Selon les mots de Bounmy.

A long, unhurried day across the two landmarks every first-time visitor to Luang Prabang asks about — but arranged so you avoid the coach crowds. Morning at Pak Ou Caves by slow boat up the Mekong; lunch at a family-run noodle stop in Ban Pak Ou; the afternoon swimming at the upper pools of Kuang Si before the afternoon coaches roll in.

Questions courantes

Avant de réserver.

Is this suitable for kids?
Yes, kids 5+ usually do well. The lower pools are easy to swim in. The upper trail is manageable for most children with reasonable energy. Bounmy adjusts pace based on the group. If you have very young kids (under 5), let us know — we may suggest a different schedule.
What if it rains?
Light rain doesn't cancel the tour — the pools are even more atmospheric in a drizzle. Heavy rain (which mostly happens May–October afternoons) means we reschedule, or you get a full refund. Bounmy makes the call by 7 AM on the day, based on the forecast.
Can I do just the lower pools and skip the upper trail?
Yes. The trail is optional. Many travelers spend their time at the lower pools and use the saved time for a slower lunch or an extra coffee in the village. Tell Bounmy what you want; he'll adjust.
Is there a vegetarian or vegan option for lunch?
Yes. The village restaurant has vegetarian dishes (vegetable laap, sticky rice, tofu, papaya salad). Vegan is possible with notice — let us know at booking so the kitchen prepares.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?
Most restrictions, yes — gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, no-pork, no-beef. Severe nut allergies require advance notice so the restaurant can avoid cross-contamination. Mention it in the booking notes; we brief Bounmy ahead of time.
What's the latest I can book?
Same-day bookings work if Bounmy has availability and your hotel is in central Luang Prabang. WhatsApp us by 9 PM the night before for an early-morning departure, or call by 7 AM for a 10 AM start.
Can I bring my own car instead of using the van?
Yes. The price drops to USD 32 per person if you provide your own transport. We confirm with Bounmy at booking. Most travelers prefer the van — parking at Kuang Si gets tight by 11 AM.
