An incomparably better way to get to Nong Khiaw from LP than the road all the way. Very comfortable minivan to the second damn, old but comfy boat for the beautiful river trip, with a delicious lunch. The trek up to 100 waterfalls on the way was tough but very good. A great experience!
We enjoyed our afternoon tour with the kayak to the Pak Ou Caves very much! Everything was perfectly organized and we even got to visit the Lao-Lao town, although this is not explicitly included in the tour. The kayaks were in perfect condition and the food was delicious. There is even the possibility to shower before taking the boat back to Luang Prabang.
I joined the half day Mahout training program. It was the first experience for me to see elephants that close!
Elephants are lovely and friendly, and the trainers and guides are also very kind. If I have a chance to come to Laos one more time, I will come here again!
the tour itself is nice but quite touristic at pak ou caves when we got there it was a queue to go up and down, many elderly people barely moving. the guide did not come with us to the actual caves but gave us "free time to explore". would have been nice to have someone explain more about the statues/caves. the road to go there and back is totally destroyed, i did not enjoy it at all!! highlight of the tour was the lunch & elephant camp.
