Kwang Si Falls is a three-level waterfall about 29 kilometres south of the ancient capital of Luang Prabang. Vibrant blue water flows down the falls through a series of pools, smaller at the top and widening as the water falls into the jungle river. Visitors can swim in the wider pools, and locals have built a wooden platform as a viewing or jumping off point for those wanting to dive in. “Northern Laos offers natural beauty with meandering rivers flanked by jungle-clad hills and karst mountains,” says Tom Harari, Exodus’ Senior Product Manager and former Laos guide. “While not as grand as Iguazu or Victoria Falls, the park is a serene place that combines falls and cascades, a green jungle, and turquoise pools—a calming and cooling place on a hot afternoon.”
