The Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos is known for jungles, coffee and waterfalls. Like this one.
Usually I don’t go on group tours, you never know what it’s going to be like or who will be in your group – but while staying on the plateau I signed myself up for a day trip as I was traveling alone and didn’t have personal transportation. I also am usually wary of random waterfalls or scenic stops on these types of package deals – sometimes they’re great and other times they’re…well, you don’t really understand what you’re stopping for.
This one about an hour outside of Pakse however did not disappoint. The overall cooler climate of the plateau was also a welcome relief from the hot stickiness of everywhere else during the rainy season.
Been to the Bolaven Plateau? What was your favorite part?

Definitely worth a trip around on a motorbike – and the cooler weather is a major plus! It was my first bit of relief in weeks…
We’re entering in two days and thought exactly the same, could be a real nice hike!
Hope you have a nice trip!
Wow. look at that fog. Beautiful!
