Phou Khao Khouay NP

---

This National Park is just a 1 1/2 hours drive away from Vientiane. I spent 3 days trekking from Ban Na to the Elephant Observation Tower, Keng Khani/Nam Hi Rapids, Tam Si Cave and Tad Fa waterfall. We didn't see any elephants (they came the following day!) but I had a great time walking through dense bamboo forests, swimming in the streams and camping in a cave on a full moon night.

Wat Phabat
This Wat houses a huge Buddha footprint.

We were looking for elephants...
...and we found buffalos. Not bad either.

Beautiful ponds...
...inviting for a swim.

Entrance to the underworld?
No, just a camp for the night in a cosy cave.
