- BelleBucheon, South Korea873 contributionsBest waterfalls in PakseOn our day trip to the Bolaven Plateau, we have several waterfalls pinned on the map. A couple were underwhelming and the rest we gave up going because the road was very dusty and rough, we don't want to risk getting a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. Tad Gneuang was the best waterfall we've seen. The fee was 20,000 kip per person and 5,000 kip for the motorcycle. From the parking area, there are souvenir shops and restaurant. Then there's the stream and a lot of areas to waddle and swim. We walked farther and found the steps that lead us to the bottom of the waterfalls. It's majestic and worth every penny, time and effort. Please take your trash with you and throw them properly. It's disappointing to see trash scattered around.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 10, 2024
- 19Eric57Uccle, Belgium2,561 contributionsNot to be missed during your discovery of the Bolavens plateausI was introduced to these falls as Tad Gneuang. When it comes to falls in this part of Laos, it is one of the sites that is - in my opinion - worth visiting with Tadfane. To reach these falls and have a beautiful view, you will have to walk, descend quite low (and then climb back up). Bring something to protect yourself from the sun and drink. Also bring suitable shoes. I would tend to say that it is within the reach of anyone in good physical shape and that it is accessible to children if you supervise them. These falls are located about 40 kilometers from Pakse to Paksong towards Sekong.Visited February 2024Traveled with friendsWritten March 16, 2024
- NicBangkok, Thailand5 contributionsTad Gneuang Waterfall in DecemberBeautiful Waterfall is one of a kind. A long walk down to the waterfall take a bit of energy but it was really worth it. A restaurant only open during lunch is the best refill after the hiking back up from the waterfall.Visited December 2024Traveled with friendsWritten December 4, 2024

Impressive waterfall even in the dry season. You can walk half way down to a view point or go down to the bottom. There is also a way of getting to stand at the top behind the drop but we didn't do that. Our guide informed us that in the wet season it's much more impressive and you often get soaked from spray at the view point

Not too far from Tad Fane but much better. You can walk down and get very close to the water fall. There are places to bring your picnics and have a great time. The coffee and restaurant in the compound has a great view and serves foods from fresh local produces

Overall a nice experience. After passing the entry fee point, you will first encounter some “ souvenir” stalls mostly staffed by very young female vendors. Be aware, lots of the items on sale are “made in China” although you may find a good bargain on ethnic arts & crafts. To see the fall(s), one needs to descend a rather steep set of stairs. The two falls itself make for a rather nice view; it is a pity that there is no real secure area for swimming at the bottom of the falls.

The waterfall was so amazing to see in real life. It’s so much bigger than it looks in photos. We went in rainy season so it was extremely powerful with a lot of back spray. We were unable to walk all the way along the hiking path as we would’ve gotten soaked but it was still an incredible experience.

Definitely a must see waterfall. There were many locals picnicking at the top of the waterfall. You can get close to the edge, but be careful! When you go down the stairs you will see a beautiful waterfall, even during dry season.

Lovely waterfall!tou arrive at the top and then have to walk down about 200 steps you see it from the bottom. Worth it though. Reasonably nice restaurant with good food. Areas to paddle st the top but lots of locals sat around watching made me feel to conscious.

You can walk down to the bottom of the waterfall and get completely wet or you can splash your feet in the pools just meters before the water goes over the edge. There are covered seats if you want to enjoy a picnic.
We visited during the time of closed international borders and there were very few visitors but there were plenty of sellers trying to keep up an atmosphere that was sadly lacking in most places we visited.

We came here November 2016 as a part of private day tour. I initially hesitated to get down. It looked bit scary. but just started to get down and reached the place. It was amazing and the whole place is misty from the waterfalls. you can go further down to touch water but the path is bit slippery.

Not far from Pakse you can come by motorbike. But for now March 2018 the road is under construction and very dangerous. You have to walk down very steep ladder to witness the beauty of the fall. You also can take a rest and swim in the lagoon.
