Yoga in Vang Vieng

Reviewed By MCF184

I had a very nice class with Jasmine for the outdoor sunset class. The yoga shala is amazing, you have a 360 degrees view at the mountains and we also saw some hot air balloons in the air, perfect. Jasmine is a really good teacher and I liked her class a lot. Next morning I went to another class, it was inside the naga hotel, perfect mix of active flow class and passive yin class.

Vang Vieng Elephant Sanctuary

Reviewed By yatsoony - Acton, United Kingdom

This was a great activity to do with our young kids aged 9 and 7. We were picked up at our hotel in Vang Vieng for a scenic 45 minute drive to get to the sanctuary. When we arrived we had an interesting, informative and entertaining introductory talk by the owner of the sanctuary. This gave a background to the culture, history and threats to elephants in Laos, as well as what he is trying to achieve at the sanctuary. A fairly easy trek (waterproof shoes provided) through a beautiful landscape took us to the elephants’ natural habitat. We were able to feed the elephants with bananas and then bathe them in a nearby river. We then trekked back to the sanctuary buildings with elephants, during which we saw them having a mud bath. Back at the sanctuary buildings we fed them some more and were in turn fed a delicious Lao lunch. It was an amazing privilege to be at such close quarters with these gentle, curious and majestic animals. There are four elephants currently at the sanctuary. Groups of visitors (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) are limited in numbers so as to maintain a good visitor-elephant ratio. I can thoroughly recommend this activity as an inspirational way to spend half a day!

Pha Ngern View Point

Reviewed By Bouncy_Boycy - Colombo, Sri Lanka

We made it to the first viewing hut in around one hour going slow with breaks. Leave early to make sure you have the time to return slowly before the lights fade. Great outdoorsy experience and view. Turn by the sign for the school and follow the signs to arrive at the entrance. Bring water and take the bottle back with you.

Worth visiting the caves, will need to be prepared for the steep steps and a fair few of them. Once you get to the top worth the work as the caves inside are pretty cool.

Kaeng Nyui Waterfalll

Reviewed By vacationaltravellor - Singapore, Singapore

I went up the trek while it was raining and I was pleasantly surprised that nobody was here. The drive up was bumpy but bearable. The hike up was very muddy but we could still go up carefully without slipping and it wasn't that far. There was a mini waterfall before we got up. but the actual waterfall was gorgeous and since it just rained it was flowing very hard. It wasn't super difficult to get to and not very touristy unlike the blue lagoons so I definitely recommend.

Buy a ticket in Vang Vieng then they will pick you up and drive you to the cave. You are going to get wet so take appropriate clothes or swim wear. They supply head torch and Tube and a cave leader to look after you Lay back and Enjoy
