Waterfalls in Houaphanh, Laos
You’ll find a handful of easy-to-access waterfalls around Xam Neua and the Viengxay Caves.The two best known among the province’s numerous waterfalls are Nam Noua, located just off the road between Xam Neua and Vieng Xay, and Phonxay-Saleuy on the road from Phonesavanh to Xam Neua. Phonxay-Saleuy Waterfall is a popular picnic spot for local people, especially during the Lao New Year. A trail alongside the falls takes the adventurous to the top.
Nam Neua Waterfall
Admire Nam Neua Waterfall, as it squeezes through thick forest down an 80-metre trough and over two tiers to its rocky bottom. The falls are located close to Viengxay Caves.
Houei Yad Waterfall
A short walk from the serene Nam Muang Hot Springs, Houei Yad Waterfall crashes over sloping rocks as it tumbles to a pond that empties into a small river. From here, take a short walk up a mountain ridge to Houei Yad Village, known for recycling crashed aircraft. The falls and hot springs are just south of Xam Neua off Route 6.
Phonxay-Saleuy Falls
Follow a trail alongside tree-lined Phonxay-Saleuy Falls, as it drops 100 metres down the mountain. The narrow, winding torrent cascades in white foam over rock slabs to a final leap into a relaxing pool and on to a calm stream. Access to Phonxay-Saleuy Falls is further south of Xam Neua off Route 6 at Saleuy Village, which sells locally made textiles.
