Why Visit Tad Fane
Tad Fane is known for its twin waterfall setting. Tourism Laos describes the falls as approximately 120 metres high, making the landscape the focus of a visit rather than a quick city attraction.
Where Tad Fane Is
Tourism Laos identifies Tad Fane in Champasak, within Dong Houa Sao National Protected Area. It is associated with the Bolaven Plateau and is around kilometre 38 on the road from Pakse toward Paksong.
The Twin Waterfalls
The Champi and Pak Koot rivers come together at Tad Fane. This meeting of rivers creates the twin-fall view for which the site is known.
Visiting from Pakse
Pakse is a useful base for arranging an onward visit toward the Bolaven Plateau. CPS does not run directly to Tad Fane; arrange local or onward transport separately from Pakse and check current local information before setting out.
Tad Fane and the Bolaven Plateau
Tad Fane fits naturally into a wider Bolaven Plateau plan. Leave enough flexibility in your itinerary to choose the local transport and visit details that suit your trip.
