Coffee in Bolaven Plateau

Bolaven Plateau Half-Day

A wonderful introduction to a region known for its rich culture and stunning natural landscapes. The journey begins with a visit to impressive twin waterfalls, viewed from a picturesque lookout. Next, you'll explore another elegant waterfall, reachable by a short walk to its refreshing base. The tour ends with a peaceful stop at a local café, where you can savor freshly brewed coffee while enjoying scenic countryside views.

This half-day program is ideal for travelers who don’t have much time but still want to experience the beauty of the Bolaven Plateau. The tour can start either in the morning or the afternoon, making it easy to fit into your travel plans.

Leave Pakse and drive up into the cool highlands of the Bolaven Plateau, an area well known for its waterfalls, coffee plantations, and ethnic diversity.

The first highlight is the spectacular Tad Fane Waterfall, the tallest in Laos at 120 meters. Standing on a wide wooden platform, you’ll have a perfect view of the twin falls dropping deep into the jungle gorge. For those who wish, there is also an optional zipline adventure across the canyon offering a thrilling perspective of the falls.

Just a short drive further, visit Tad Yuang Waterfall, a 40-meter cascade surrounded by forest. Here, you can enjoy views from the top, side, and bottom, and perhaps take a short walk along the riverside paths. A small restaurant and picnic area near the stream make this a pleasant spot to relax.

The final stop is at Lak 40 Café, a charming place surrounded by coffee, tea, and cocoa plants. Here you can learn about organic coffee and tea production, taste freshly brewed drinks, and walk around the lush garden. Local products such as coffee, tea, and cocoa are also available for purchase.

After your visit, return by road to Pakse, arriving either around midday or late afternoon, depending on your chosen departure time.
