Not only trails through dry evergreen and mixed deciduous forests, this 2- day challenge also offers you cycling opportunity and admiring these stunning landscapes from waterfall to waterfall where you can swim and relax! Let’s join in this Phou Khao Khouay challenge

Day 1. Vientiane - Ban Hatkhai

You will be transferred from Vientiane to Ban Hatkhai, where you begin your cycling tour to reach Tad Xay Waterfall. If you are keen on cycling, you can also choose to start cycling already from the main road, thus cycling longer! Joining in the interesting ride, you will have a chance to admire some great views over the Nam Mang River.

Then, you will enjoy picnic lunch at the spectacular waterfall of Tad Xay and take time to go swimming. After that, you will start your trek under an evergreen canopy. The trek continues until your kayaking starting point where you kayak to Ban Hatkhai, where you will stay overnight in a local home.

Day 2. Ban Hatkhai - Tad Leuk - Vientiane

After having an early breakfast, you will be transferred to the Tad Leuk Waterfall, which is a famous local tourist attraction amidst the mixed deciduous forest. You will receive some good information on the flora and fauna of the national park through a permanent exhibit at the Visitors' Centre. The Tad Leuk Nature Trail points out some amazing botanic details.

After that, you will have lunch at Tad Leuk.

In the afternoon, you will go trekking following a path along the Nam Leuk to the Tad Sang (Elephant Waterfall) waterfall, another stunning place for swimming and relaxation. Along the way, you can spot a large number of orchids, especially in the wet season. From here, you will return to Vientiane by songthaew.

In the wet season, the trek continues to the Houay Xai Stream.
In the dry season, we have to trek further to Nam Mang for our kayaking starting point.
