Also in Champasak Province, the Nam Tok Katamtok falls is a relatively easy drive from the town of Paksong, making it an alluring day-trip option for those staying in the area.

At more than 300 feet tall, the falls is one of the largest in the area, and located on the Huay Katam River in Lao’s Bolaven Plateau region, which is famous for its highland ecosystem and plentiful coffee plantations.

The falls is only a short hike from the road, and its sheer size is more reminiscent of waterfalls you’d expect to find in Africa.
