Bolaven plateau

Bolaven plateau is an ideal destination for tourist to visit during their time in Laos. It can be a great place to escape the heat from the plains due to its cooler weather.

Situated approximately 37km from Pakse to the northeast of Champasak and along with the provinces of Sekong and Attapeu makes up the plateau, the most productive district in Laos, for due to its climate, it is the place of coffee (both Arabica and Robusta) that has become the main export product of region.

Trekking through the area has become very popular as there is much to see, coffee plantations, many different fruits and vegetable being grown as well as other agriculture projects, but the highlight is the many tribal villages you pass, including Alak, Katu and Suay. Actually the region was named after the” Laven” ethnic group, known as the traditional tribal group of the area.

The spectacular waterfalls are also attractions of Bolaven:

- The highest in Laos named Tad Fane is a stopping point for all trekkers as the water tumbles 120meters. And high above the ground there is a Zipline for those adventures who want to give it a try.
- Next to Tad Fan is Tad Yeung, another lovely place to relax and chill out!
- Tad Lo is another interesting waterfall to visit and its many activities draw travelers to it.
- Tad Phasuam waterfall

If you plan to overnight in this region, there is plenty of good accommodations choices, such as Tad Fane Resort, Tad Lo Lodge, Sinouk Coffee Resort...

The Boloven is well worth a visit, while in Laos make sure you don’t miss out on its scenery.
