The most popular natural attraction in the area around Luang Prabang, this three-tiered set of falls offers a picturesque outing, with trails meandering through the jungle and turquoise pools scattered about. While it’s indeed very touristy, the area is large enough that you can still enjoy moments of solitude away from the crowds, especially when floating in the water and listening to the falls. An entrance ticket also grants visitors access to the on-site bear sanctuary, which is home to black bears rescued from traffickers.
