Tour description
Tad Lo Village lies along the Xe Set River on the northern edge of the Bolaven Plateau and is famous for its chain of three waterfalls: Tad Hang right beside the village, Tad Lo farther upstream, and Tad Soung—cascading from a high cliff into the valley, especially beautiful during the rainy season.
The tour takes you on easy walks between the waterfalls, with swimming in the pool at the foot of Tad Hang Waterfall (during the dry season), followed by visits to Katu and Alak villages—home to indigenous Mon-Khmer peoples, traditional stilt houses, community houses, and intricately carved ritual posts, along with unique forest-spirit beliefs.
In the afternoon, visit a family tea and coffee garden on the plateau and taste Bolaven tea and coffee before returning to Pakse.
