Savannakhet Province < < Back

Location: Central Laos

Natural Protected Areas: Pu Xang Hae, Dong Nadet and Don Phou Vieng.

Main Ethnic Groups: Katang, Mangkong, Pako, Tri, Suay, Phuthai and Lao.

Ecotourism Attractions: Savannakhet offers some very interesting remote trekking opportunities near the Vietnam border.

Those on the 3-day trek through the Don Pu Vieng National Protected Area often see the endangered Eld’s deer, silver languars and horn bills, all of which are difficult to spot in Laos.

Four-day treks into the Phu Xang Hae National Protected area take you through rocky mountain ranges, and highlight local Puthai culture and bush survival skills. Shorter 1 and 2-day walks to Dong Natad lead to a towering ancient forest, a sacred lake and That Ing Hang stupa.

Preparation of villagers for tourism activities in Savannakhet has been a top priority of the Savannakhet Ecotourism Project. Tours are available through the Savannakhet Guide Association.
