ITINERARY

[Day 1] Khong Island
Meals: lunch | Accommodation: N/A

In the morning, you will take a 140km-drive from Pakse downtown to the southernmost part of Champassak province, which forms the border with Cambodia. Here, the Mekong river spreads to a width up to 14km; during the rainy season, it creates hundreds of islands and islets. The larger island is inhabited and the largest southern island, Don Khone has an old disused 5km railway, built by the French as part of the Mekong bypass route. The river cannot be navigated south of Don Khone because of the Khone Falls - the smaller Samphamit Falls and the larger Khong Phabeng Falls - the biggest in Asia, and maybe the widest falls in the world. Near the waterfalls, you can also find out the endangered Irriwaddy dolphins. Lunch is at a local restaurant before being transferred back to town.
