Nam Kat Waterfall
Nam Kat Waterfall, a tourist attraction 23 kilometres away from Oudomxay, is a stunning place surrounded by an untouched, exquisitely pristine forest.
Compared to the other waterfalls in Laos, Nam Kat Waterfall is considered small — the single-tier falls may be disappointing, but by the moment you get there, you have been so enthralled by the forests that you have no time to compare. On the way to the falls, via a trekking tour, guests will have the chance to enjoy a ride on 4-wheeled motorbikes and pass through 13 wire-suspended bridges. Since the place isn’t swarmed by tourists, Nam Kat Waterfall is a great place to relax, take a break, and also to meditate.
