DAY 02 - KAYAKING THE NAM OU RIVER, 100 WATERFALL TREK, AND RIVERSIDE HOMESTAY (B,L,D)

Grab your gear and get ready as we set out on a full day of active adventure.

We’ll kayak down the Nam Ou River (about 14 Km) to a riverside Khmu village where we'll find the trailhead of the famous 100 Waterfall trek.

This is an exciting hike up through hundreds of cascading waterfalls surrounded by beautiful jungle.

You’ll want to bring shoes that can get wet as we hike up and through the waterfall itself.

Enjoy lunch at the waterfall and return mid-afternoon. The trek is as much a feature as the waterfalls.

Upon returning to the river, we’ll board a local boat to transfer 7 Km downriver.
