Today it's the adventures day..I signed up for a $20 1 full day trekking, going to the Tat Se waterfall. Luang Prabang has another more touristy waterfall, though, but I decided to take something a bit differently. So it's a 1.5 hours trekking into the jungle, ups and downs, making a stop at the Khamu Tribe Village. It was a really interesting tribe.. People are very welcome with sincere smiles..
It's on the 400m above the sea level and it's completely secluded.. It resembles a lot of those villages in remote places in Indonesia in flores or sulawesi something..
Then the trip continues to our prime destinations, the waterfall..
It's a multi tiers waterfall type not the high water splash whatsoever. But I managed to jump of a cliff (not too high though), and the water is quite deep, around 2-3m.. really cool.. I mean literally cold water.. The last part of the trekking was the elephant ride. The other couple took the ride but I didn't.. Elephants, being so close to it, are quite sensitive, sweet, and they understand what's going around them..
Anyway the view along the way was just beautiful. But come to think about it, actually the scenery is pretty the same in south east asia. Very beautiful..
It rained a bit in the morning but then it stopped and turned out to be a clear day.. The group consisted of 4 persons, me and 3 americans with 1 guide, Thon Di from White Elephant Tours. He's really nice and cool. Overall, it was a enjoyable, fun trip. We combined tuk-tuk, walking (for most part), and boat ride.. We are satisfied with the trip, a lot..
For dinner, I went again to the night food market. Better food and cheaper than eating in the restaurants..
