Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you're driving from Pakse, take Route 13 south towards the town of Champasak. Continue on Route 13 for approximately 30 kilometers until you reach the junction for Route 16. Turn left onto Route 16 and drive for about 20 kilometers. Look for signs directing you to the area known as Khon, where the waterfall is located. You can use the address 'XW4P+52V, Khon' in your GPS for precise navigation. Parking is generally available near the waterfall entrance.
Public Transportation (Bus)
From Pakse, you can take a local bus to Champasak. Buses leave frequently from the Pakse bus station, and the fare is typically around 20,000 LAK (Lao Kip). Once you arrive in Champasak, look for a Songthaew (shared taxi) that is heading to Khon. The fare for the Songthaew should be around 10,000 to 15,000 LAK. Inform the driver that you want to stop at the waterfall. The journey should take about 1-1.5 hours total. Be prepared for a short walk from the drop-off point to the waterfall.
Motorbike Rental
For the more adventurous travelers, renting a motorbike in Pakse is a great way to reach the waterfall. Rental rates are usually around 100,000 LAK per day. Follow the same directions as if you were driving a car, taking Route 13 south to the junction for Route 16, then towards Khon. Ensure you have a valid driver's license and wear a helmet. The ride offers beautiful views of the countryside along the way.
