We will be transferred from Vientiane to the Tad Leuk waterfall in the Phou Khao Khouay National Protected Area. On arrival, we visit the permanent exhibit at the Tad Leuk Visitors' Centre.
After lunch at Tad Leuk, 4 hours of easy trekking takes us to the first Camp Site, a sandstone beach on the edge of the dry riverbed. The trail offers plenty of opportunities for bird spotting and tracing monkeys and other animals.
Approximately: 3 hours transfer/ 4 hours trekking
After breakfast, a 6 hours walk included a steep but short climb take us to the top of a waterfall, a great viewpoint over the surrounding canopy. Amidst clear bamboo and liana forest, a very large Burma Mahogany tree makes for a
spectacular landmark.
A picnic lunch will be prepared on the river bank.
We arrive to the second Camp Site in the early afternoon. During twilight, birds, monkeys and squirrels can be heard in the up to 40 m high pine trees around the camp site.
Approximately: 6 hours trekking
On our last day trek, the trail sneaks thru a very rich section of old forest, known as a habitat for tigers and elephants. Our guides will be able to show you the traces of elephants, often damaged trees and bushes or even footprints.
We arrive at Ang Nam Leuk Reservoir (Note that this area is inhabited by the Siamese Crocodile!). Our vehicle awaits to transfer us to Ban Hoay Leuk for lunch at our local guide house.
We return to Vientiane in the late afternoon.
Approximately: 3 ½ hours transfer / 2 ½ hours trekking
