WATERFALLS, ZIPLINES AND TREE HOUSES
We arrive at the village of Ban Nongluang from Pakse. After the safety instructions from our local guides, we start to hike through coffee plantations and vegetable gardens until wild semi-evergreen forest gradually takes over. Along the way, the guides explain the plants that are traditionally used in the village kitchen or as herbal medicine. The challenge starts with a breath-taking canopy walkway crossing a steep river valley. Immerse yourself in nature as you make your way through some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Bolaven Plateau to reach the giant ‘Kamet’ fall. Here is where the zip-lines start and the real thrill takes its course!

We then enjoy a lunch break in the wilderness, with a chance of a cooling swim, before mastering the unbelievable zip-lines circuit to truly become one with nature. An once in a lifetime feeling flying over the majestic waterfall’s valley! After a day of great activity, we finally settle for the night. Behind a delicious local food and barbecue dinner, we retire into our own tree house almost 10 m above the ground. An instant cozy sleep shrouded by the fiddling sound of the forest crickets is guaranteed.

We wake up amidst the sounds of the innumerable birds in the dense canopy around us. A delicious breakfast prepares us for an easy 30 minutes trek through great forest before reaching the first cable.

Be ready for extended flights through the jungle with the
longest zip-line of 400 m as a real highlight. Its speed, its felt infinity, the proximity to the usually invisible upper stratum of the forest is an amazing and unforgettable experience. After the zipline adventure, we slowly trek uphill, passing a section of forest where gigantic trees dominate. The trail suddenly ends at a steep rock wall that will draw our next challenge! Enjoy a short but thrilling via ferrata way to reach the top of the mountain.

Once in the top of one of the highest peaks in the area, an
open plateau rewards with stunning views of three waterfalls and vistas over the Mekong deep into neighboring Thailand. We’ll take our lunch here before an easy 1:30 hours hike back to Ban Nongluang, where a car is waiting to bring us to Pakse.
