Home to beautiful waterfalls, jungles, and islands on the legendary Mekong River, Champasak is an attractive destination in Laos. As a southwest province of the country, Champasak owns its charm of diverse beauty from nature, history, to Buddhism, culture, and local life. If you’re planning to explore exotic Laos, here could be a great stop in your voyage to the land of million elephants.
Wat Phou (Mountain Temple) is a Heritage Site of Khmer Kingdom’s Ruins in Laos. Comprising ancient architectures of the Khmer Empire before they moved to the South, Wat Phou is quite similar to Angkor Wat Complex in Cambodia. This Angkor Temple Ruin is the pride of Lao people by its values of history, art, and culture. Also, the place offers gorgeous surrounding scenery from the mountain’s top which is well-worth climbing.
The plateau covers a large area of several Laos’ provinces but the region in Champasak is one of the most attractive spots due to its distinct beauties of nature, ethnic villages and indigenous culture. Tourists can take a trip out of Pakse to the Northeast and find many things-to-see in the region including beautiful waterfalls like Tad Fane (the highest waterfall in Laos) or Tad Yuang (a wonderful waterfall in a glorious natural setting), local tribal villages and market, coffee plantations, etc.
Pakse, Champasak’s provincial capital, is a charming riverside town that is a must-stop destination in the region. As the land of the Champasak Kingdom in Laos, also used to be a French outpost, Pakse has many attractive spots with influences from different cultures such as Wat Luang Temple, Golden Buddha Statue, or Chompet Stone Sculpture Village with the distinctive Laos culture, several French colonial architectures, or vibrant Daoheuang Market with a wide range of eateries, souvenirs, and local merchandises.
Lao is a landlocked country but there is a place in Laos called the land of 4000 islands – Si Phan Don. Actually, the region is a part of the Mekong River before entering Cambodia and forms a group of small islets in the middle of the river. Among the islands here, Don Khong is the largest island. Don Khone and Don Det are other islands worth visiting for discoveries of the rustic local life here. There are two jaw-dropping waterfalls: Tad Somphamit Waterfalls and Khone Phapheng Falls that you should not miss when in Si Phan Don.
