We will be transferred from Vientiane to Ban Hatkhai, where a long-tail boat takes us up stream on the Nam Mang, before continuing along the Houay Xai, one of its many tributaries. A 2 hours trek passes under an evergreen canopy, while gaining height. A picnic lunch is served on the way.
The magnificent pair of waterfalls Tad Xay and Pha Xay, particularly beautiful during and after the rainy season are reached in the afternoon. Tad Xay has a pool is recommended for bathing.
From here, pick-up takes the group to Ban Hatkhai, where the night is spent in a home-stay.
Approximately: 2 ½ hours transfer/1 hour boating/ 2 hours trekking
Note: In the dry season, we are not able to take long tail boat on Houay Xai stream, so we continue the boat ride further up steam on Nam Mang to meet another trekking starting point on the river bank (3 hours trek)
End of 1 day tour: We return to Vientiane from Ban Hatkhai (Approximately: 2 ½ hours transfer)
After an early breakfast, we will be transferred to the Tad Leuk Waterfall.
The Tad Leuk is a local tourist attraction amidst mixed deciduous forest. A permanent exhibit at the Visitors' Center gives some good information on the flora and fauna of the NPA. The Tad Leuk Nature Trail points out some interesting botanic details. We will have lunch at Tad Leuk.
In the afternoon, the trek follows a path along the Nam Leuk to the Tad Sang (Elephant Waterfall) waterfall, another idyllic place for bathing and relaxation. Along the way, a large number of orchids can be seen, especially in wet season. From here we return to Vientiane by songthaew.
Approximately: 3 hours transfer/ 4 hours trekking
