Itinerary

Day 1
Cycling, Kayak

We leave Luang Prabang in the morning, first visiting Ban Xang Khong village on the Mekong River just north of the peninsula. We will then load the bicycles into the car and drive 20 km north (to avoid the hustle and bustle of the national highway). We will again ride our bicycles to Ban Xang Hai village. There you can see the unique distillation process of Lao Lao whisky. We will continue to the Ou River, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the Mekong River. We will visit the village and learn about the life of the local rice paddies and free range buffalo. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch on the sandy beach on the riverbank.




In the afternoon, we start kayak on the Nam Ou River. We enjoy a breathtaking view of the tranquil countryside and see a wonderful nature built limestone cliffs called Pha Aen on the way. 1 hour kayaking takes us to the first destination the confluence of the Nam Ou and Mekong Rivers, Pak Ou. We visit the famous Pak Ou Caves – two linked caves crammed with thousands of gold lacquered Buddha statues of various shapes and sizes left by devoted pilgrims. Exploring the caves about 30 min, we start the second course of the kayaking on the Mekong River. We paddle down the Mekong for 30 minutes until we ended our journey at Manifa Elephant Camp. Shower and change clothes at Elephant Camp. Return to Luang Prabang by car or add an optional sunset cruise to Luang Prabang.

大好きなゾウに触れられて最高の1日でした。Manifa Travelがゾウを大切にしているのが伝わりました。
By Tsuruda M for [EUR] F03 MAHOUT INTRODUCTION TRAINING PROGRAM . KUANG SI FALLS on Sep 25, 2024
Phantastic experience ! Ride on elephants neck was very special, great experience. No elephant ride with wooden construction which results in pain for the elephant. Elephants can move on 280 ha of land. You can feed the elephants with sugar cane. They like it as a snack, but their main food they take by themselfes in the forest. It is a great place for elephants which grow up with people and can not survive in wilderness. They need a camp like this to survive ! Please visit this camp to support this concept ! Organisation of the trip booked at MANIFA was excellent. Pick up at the hotel, transfer to boat and privat boat to the elephant camp. Return to hotel directly by car. At the camp drinks and food was provided free of charge. Thanks to MANIFA travel for this great service ! Next year we will come again to this beautiful place best regards from Austria Isabella&Gerhard
