Situated 183km south of ancient royal city Luang Prabang and 150km North of the Vientiane capital, the small town Vang Vieng is set in the midst of rugged limestone karst, scenic cliffs and rice paddies. This destination is known for being the place of a dreamlike landscape with its natural beauty and various water sports such as tubing, kayaking and rock climbing. Vang Vieng also offers travellers some peaceful places like the small Hmong villages and several 16th and 17th-century monasteries.
This water cave - Tham Nam is one of the most famous caves in Vang Vieng and it is a good place to rest your mind by spending time on the water and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. After a short drive of around 30 minutes from the town centre, you can rent a tube and discover the cave by pulling yourself along the rope to go through the cave.
Would you like to spend time with these beautiful and gentle creatures - Elephants and learn about their habits, stories and behaviour in a beautiful setting? This Vang Vieng Elephant Sanctuary is an amazing place where has 4 elephants only but all of these are in very good condition and looks happy. Please do not worry about ethical standards since there is no elephant riding allowed here.
Tham Chang Cave is used to the refuge during the 19th-century invasion and very easily accessible from the Vang Vieng main street with around 20 mins walk. You will need to walk across the Nam Song River on the bridge and climb up to the cave. Tham Chang Cave will definitely be an interesting place for travellers to explore.
Not to be confused as there are three viewpoints in Pha Ngern mountain: Silver Cliff (also called Pha Ngern Silver Cliff), lower Pha Ngern viewpoint and the highest Pha Ngern. They are not easy hikes but definitely worth doing on a clear day to have impressive and outstanding views from the tops.
