Kuang Si Falls, Natural waterfall cascade in Luang Prabang Province, Laos.
The three-tiered waterfall system stretches over 60 meters in height, forming multiple turquoise pools cascading down limestone formations.
The surrounding area housed Hmong and Khmu hill tribes until 1975, when the Lao government initiated natural resource preservation measures.
The name Kuang Si combines traditional Lao words: Tad for waterfall, Nam for water, Kuang meaning deer, and Si referring to the river.
Located 29 kilometers south of Luang Prabang city, the falls maintain daily operating hours from 8:00 to 17:30 with an entrance fee of 60,000 kip.
The waterfall complex includes a bear rescue center at its entrance, protecting local bears from illegal hunting activities.
