Overview

Kaeng Nyui Waterfall is a captivating natural attraction nestled in the eastern side of Vang Vieng, Laos. The main waterfall is 30 meters high, and while it's powerful in the wet season, it can slow to a trickle during the driest months. Reaching the waterfall involves a walk along the Houay Nyui and Nam Lao streams, past smaller cascades and the 5-meter Kenlon Waterfall with its inviting swimming pool.The journey to Kaeng Nyui is an experience in itself, with scenic views of surrounding mountains and greenery. The paths leading to the waterfalls are mostly dirt, with wooden bridges to help cross the streams. The waterfall is a great place to relax in nature, swim in the natural pools, and even enjoy a picnic.Kaeng Nyui offers a more tranquil experience compared to the crowded Blue Lagoons. The falls create a fine spray, which the locals call 'nyui-nyui', giving the waterfall its name. While the waterfall may not have water masses, it is definitely worth a visit. Especially worthwhile is also a short trip in the rainy season, because here the waterfall unfolds its full splendor.
