Pakse Treetop Explorer
This place is as stunning as it is impressive! You are truly secluded here as the venue can only be reached by foot. No cars, no noise, no fumes! The main attraction is a system of ziplines traversing steep gorges within touching distance to the waterfalls. A ‘via ferrata’ teases out the adventurous spirit of most visitors. This is the ultimate addition to a backpacking adventure through Southern Laos. It is extreme, it is fun, and it is simply stunning nature!

Itinerary
Day 1: Waterfalls, Ziplines and Tree Houses
We arrived at the village of Ban Nongluang from Pakse. After the safety instructions from our local guides, we start to hike through coffee plantations and vegetable gardens until wild semi-evergreen forest gradually takes over. Along the way, the guides explain the plants that are traditionally used in the village kitchen or as herbal medicine. The challenge starts with a breath-taking canopy walkway crossing a steep river valley. Immerse yourself in nature as you make your way through some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Bolaven Plateau to reach the giant ‘Kamet' fall. Here is where the zip-lines start, and the real thrill takes its course!
We then enjoy a lunch break in the wilderness, with a chance for a cool swim, before mastering the unbelievable zip-line circuit to truly become one with nature. A once-in-a-lifetime feeling flying over the majestic waterfall's valley! After a day of great activity, we finally settled for the night. Behind delicious local food and barbecue dinner, we retire into our own tree house almost 10 m above the ground, which is only accessible by a zip-line. An instant cozy sleep shrouded by the fiddling sound of the forest crickets is guaranteed.

Day 2: Flying Over the Valle
y
We wake up amidst the warbling, piping, chirping, twittering of the innumerable birds in the dense canopy around us. A simple European-style breakfast prepares us for an easy 30-minute trek through a great forest before reaching the first cable. Be ready for extended flights through the jungle with the longest zip-line of 400 m as a real highlight. Its speed, it felt infinite, the proximity to the usually invisible upper stratum of the forest is an amazing and unforgettable experience.
A picnic lunch is served in the best of nature. We return to the camp in the late afternoon by passing the ‘Red Rock' stream, where we will have time for some rest and swimming before falling asleep in our tree house for another night.

Day 3: To the Top of the Mountain
It's a day of more challenges, but also a day of saying ‘goodbye'! After breakfast, we slowly trek uphill, passing a section of forest where gigantic trees dominate. The trail suddenly ends at a steep rock wall that will draw our next challenge! Enjoy a short but thrilling via Ferrata way to reach the top of the mountain.
Once in the top of one of the highest peaks in the area, an open plateau rewards with stunning views of three waterfalls and vistas over the Mekong deep into neighboring Thailand. We'll take our lunch here before an easy 1:30 hour hike back to Ban Nongluang, where a car or van is waiting to bring us back to Pakse.
