The Bright Blue Kuang Si Waterfall – Laos
|
Bright Blue Kuang Si Waterfall
I ofcourse started my walk at the top of the waterfall. There is a plateau from which you can see the waterfall and from where you can make nice pictures with the fall in the back of your picture. From the moment you enter the waterfall you can not miss the great bright and fresh blue colour of the water. The water comes directly from the hills and take my word for it: it’s freezing cold.
Kuang Si Waterfall – Luang Prabang, Laos
While walking down the path along the river side I entered all kinds of great rapids in the river, small waterfalls. The colour is just mesmerizing!! On the background is the lucious green of the jungle that compleets a perfect picture!!
Bear Shelter @ Kuang Si Waterfall
Almost down I saw a bear shelter. They just sit there and I thought it looked sad. They were in a far more worse situation before so they had a good shelter now, they told me. When I searched the internet I found out that Free The Bears had this shelter. They get bears out of nasty situations and try to rehabilitate them into the wild again. They also provide education to the local people to create awareness and to prefend this from happening in the future.
Visiting a Local village near Kuang Si Waterfall
I don’t know if they always want that change. It seems that some of the locals are happy with living like they did centuries ago but the teenagers and twenty something people are going to the city. For education and/or for modern time 🙂
- Alternative for Kuang Si Waterfall
Near Luang Prabang you have another bright blue waterfall. This one is called Tad Sae Waterfall. I read about the fact that lot’s of people don’t go here because it’s more visited by the local Laotian tourists. Maybe I should have gone there then!! Also.. It is not that high as Kuang Si Waterfall. You can go and swim at this one just as Kuang Si, there are several stages that look like pools. You can swim and relax in there too.
This waterfall is 18K away from Luang Prabang and 2K near the village Bak En.
