Why Visit the Bolaven Plateau
The plateau brings together nature and coffee-growing landscapes in one Southern Laos region. It is best approached as a flexible area to explore rather than a fixed itinerary.
Waterfalls of the Plateau
Tad Fane and Tad Yuang are among the waterfalls associated with the Bolaven Plateau. Check current local visitor information before making onward plans.

Pakse is a practical base for arranging onward travel toward the plateau. CPS scheduled buses serve Pakse from Vientiane, not individual Bolaven attractions.
