Luang Prabang – gardens and waterfalls

Our pictorial walk through Kuang Si waterfall park and the Pha Tad Ke Botanical gardens.

It was an interesting one hour drive to the waterfall which, rather than a single waterfall, consisted of a main drop and then a number of cascading pools that tumbled down the mountainside. The park included additional treats such as; the bear rescue centre, information on the forest that we walked through and, a short distance down the road, a butterfly park.

Getting to the Pha Tad Ke Botanical Gardens involved a brisk walk from our accommodation in Luang Prabang and then a 15 minute boat ride down and across the Mekong river.

Two different experiences which both connected us to nature.
