Excursion to Si Phan Don (4000 Islands)

Cross the Mekong by boat to Ban Muang pier for a two-hour drive to the village of Ban Nakasang. Board your boat and cruise along the backwaters to explore Si Phan Don (4000 Islands). Take time to admire the surrounding islands of Done Khone and Don Det and the traditional lifestyle of the fishermen. Visit the old French villas, narrow-gauge railway and French railway bridge that was constructed during World War II. Stroll along the packed dirt footpaths and palm-fringed villages and enjoy the serenity of an Asia lost in time. Continue to the impressive Lippi falls, on the west of Don Khone, very close to the Cambodian border. This is a perfect place to take your time and soak in the view. Return to the mainland by boat and make a little detour to the Khone Phapeng Falls, known as the largest waterfall in Southeast Asia.

Champasak & Wat Phou Temple

Wat Phou is one of the Lao World Heritage sites recognized by UNESCO in 2001, this wonderful archaeological site of Khmer civilization dates back to the 5th century, predating the famous Angkor Wat in Cambodia. After exploring the site, stroll through the narrow streets of Champassak where, with the many colonial-era houses (often left in ruins), there is still a very nostalgic “Indochina” atmosphere. Return to Sone Deang Island in time for sunset.
