RICE FARM, WATERFALL & BEAR CENTRE (1 Day) GL0104

You will be collected from your hotel by an English-speaking guide will escort you in an air-condition minivan and driven to the Living Land farm where you will learn all about the process of planting and harvesting rice.

Here you can get your hands dirty if you want and participate in the various activities including ploughing with Rosy the buffalo.

See the process of planting and harvesting rice in the rice paddy. Spend time at the Living Rice Farm, situated in an idyllic countryside setting, surrounded by mountains in the middle of ancient rice terraces.

The Living Rice Farm is a community enterprise growing organic vegetables and rice. Working with and supporting the local community plus helping to educate children from disadvantaged families.

After the Rice Experience you will take a pleasant drive through villages and countryside to the Kuang Sii falls, one of the most popular destinations in Laos.

The Kuang Sii Falls, sometimes spelled Kuang Xi or known as Tat Kuang Si Waterfalls, is a three-tier waterfall about 29 kilometres (18 mi) south of Luang Prabang.

These waterfalls are a favorite side trip for tourists in Luang Prabang. The falls begin in shallow pools atop a steep hillside. These lead to the main fall with a 60 metres (200 ft) cascade.

The falls are accessed via a trail, the water collects in numerous turquoise blue pools as it flows downstream.
The many cascades result is typical of travertine of waterfalls.

Swimming is permitted only in marked areas and modest swimsuits are most appropriate, with local people swimming fully clothed.

There are picnic spots, public toilets and changing rooms. Food stalls outside the park entrance sell baguettes, fruit shakes and skewers of grilled meat, ideal for a picnic, in addition there are a handful of small restaurants and souvenir shops.

On your way can visit the Bear Rescue Center, home to many Asiatic bears rescued from poachers and snares in the northern jungles.

Located halfway between the park entrance and the Kuang Si Falls is the Asiatic Black Bear rescue centre, which houses a couple of dozen animals rescued from the hands of poachers and traffickers.

The bears are in large enclosures with trees and some simple toys like tire swings. An elevated viewing platform has been built near the enclosure so visitors can observe these endangered animals.  

On the way back from water falls, we will stop at Ban Na Aun “Hmong handy craft Village”, You will be dropped back at your hotel late evening.

This tour you will see the way the locals live, farming animals beautiful waterfalls, bears and amazing people.
