Champasak

Champasak is a riverside town and is located on the south of Pakse on the banks of Mekong River. Champasak Laos is a typical traditional Lao style town and it has a very serene atmosphere quite different from the busy crowd of Pakse. The Champasak Sightseeing spots are less known globally due to the low development of tourism but the Champasak province has lots to offer than it seems. The best attraction of the Champasak is its spectacular and naturally stylish Khmer ruins at the Wat Phu. The awesome fragments of islands near the Cambodian border are commonly known as Si Phan Don.

Si Phan Don is a great place as it has lots of variety for the travelers and the elephant trekking in Ban Khiet Ngong along with the magnificent waterfall in the Bolivian Plateau is a spectacular sight. The feel of traditional Laotian life on the islands of Don Deng near Champasak town is really a touching one. The visitors touring to Champasak mostly stay longer in this town than expected. The reason behind this is the excellent hospitality of the local people along with the growing range of activities from the mid 2006.

The transportation system is slow paced in Champasak but the roads are generally good and are similar to that of Laos. Due to slow bus services the motorbike has became the popular choice of the peoples and one can easily rent them. Visitors when land to Champasak mostly head to the Si Phan Don as it consists of the archipelago of 4,000 islands.

So whenever you plan a Laos Sightseeing trip never give a miss to the Champasak as this place has more to offer than it seems at a glance.
