Khammouane Province<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>
<\/div>

Khammouane Province is situated between Bolikhamxay Province to the north and the southern region of Laos, Savannakhet<\/a>. It is also bordered by the Vietnamese frontier to the east and the Mekong River to the west, which forms the border with Thailand. Located 350 km south of Vientiane, the region is only accessible by road and is relatively difficult to reach. It is also connected to Thailand by the Third Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge. <\/span><\/p>\n

What to do in the Khammouane region?<\/h2>\n
<\/div><\/div>\n

The Khammouane region is renowned for its wild beauty and preserved nature, where karst cliffs and lush jungle take shape amidst five National Protected Areas and a vast area classified as a National Biodiversity Conservation Area. It features beautiful waterfalls nestled in the mountains, including Tad Nam Sanam and Tad Mouang. <\/p>\n

You will see impressive caves, particularly in the Phou Hin Boun protected area, where you can visit the Kong Lor caves during the dry season. The turquoise water of the Hin Bun River flows peacefully for about 7.5 km, and it is possible to board a motorized pirogue to venture deep into the cave. The Tham Pha Pa cave, near Thakhek, gained media attention following the discovery of 229 Buddha statues in one of the cave’s previously unexplored excavations. This sacred pilgrimage site is now well protected by the villagers.
\nFinally, you can explore the impressive Tham Nang Aen cave, which is over 30m high and extends for one kilometer. It features an inner lake surrounded by numerous stalactites and stalagmites. <\/p>\n

The most important town in the region is Thakhek<\/a>, a quiet town located on the banks of the Mekong. The peaceful alleys of the old town center and its colonial houses with their quaint charm invite you for a stroll. Approximately 8 km south of Thakhek, you can discover Pha That Sikhottabong, also known as Vat Sikhottabong or Pha That Meuang Ka. It dates back to the 19th century and houses a large seated Buddha statue commissioned by King Anouvong (Chao Anou).
\nThakhek is also the starting point for excursions into the Khammouane karst massif. The Thakhek loop offers an exceptional circuit through the Phou Hin Boun National Protected Park (2 to 5 days), allowing you to discover the beauty of the Laotian countryside. The region is dotted with small lakes and lagoons with turquoise water, including the famous emerald lake of Khoun Kong Leng, which is said to be about 70m deep. Sumptuous landscapes in the heart of karst mountains, caves, waterfalls, blue lagoons, and dense jungle will delight adventurers!<\/p>\n
