Beautiful view! If you want to see morning clouds better go more early, like 7am start to climb. It took us 1h to the top. It’s more cooler to climb at early morning:)
Great views from the top of not covered by clouds. Quite a challenging ascent so take enough water with you. Don't go after rain because it will be extremely slippery. Bring a torch if you want to admire sunset at the top - it will be a steep descent in the darkness later.
A nice and intense 1 hour hike. Going there for sunrise to see the peaks above the clouds was an unforgettable experience.
This was the highlight of our stay in Nong Khiaw. We woke up at 5:00 to be at 6:30 at the top of the hill. The view was stunning! Entrance fee is 20 000kip and the trail is quit challenging in the morning mist. Flashlight is a must.
simply wonderful. Enjoy the hike(between 55 minutes and more). The view at the top is magic.
Nice little walk and grand 360° lookout
Entrance fee of 20,000 kip per person.
Stunning view after a strenuous 1.5 hour hike. We started climbing at 5.45am and just in time to catch the sunrise. Be sure to have a torch along if u are hiking early in the morning or late evening. Get a thicker jacket as it can get windy and chilly on top of mountain in December.
Stunning view. I would recommend to go there before sunset, as you have a really nice view. Make sure to bring a lamp with you for your way down and go when it's dry!
20,000 kip entrance fee. The awesome view is worth the 45-90 mins climb. There's a narrow path carved out by locals. It can be pretty steep at times and it's a must to avoid going on rainy days because it can be very slippery. You might want to have a stick handy for the climb. 2 rest stops in between. Doubt you can fit tents at the top of the mountain; sleeping bags should fit. Remember to wear proper shoes!!
Wonderful views, definitely worth the 45-90min way up: it depends a lot on your plate as it is very steep and slippery when wet. Go up anyway, don't think twice about it.
Lovely views , it took about one hour of walking to get to the top , not too hard. Going down in the dark was more difficult. Some people chose to camp overnight in the wooden shelter. Bring a sleeping bag but not a tent.
Simply stunning. Don't go there if it's raining or just finished
stunning if you hike up for sunset or sunrise
If staying in nong khiaw, please do not be lazy to go here. It pays off! Great views. Go early morning. Admission fee is around 2 eur
Very beautiful view. Climbing on the top can be hard in the afternoon because of the sun. Don't try if raining because very slippery.
Sketchy walk up in the rainy season and even worse going down, but great views from the top when the clouds clear. Take a stick from the entrance, you'll need it, and take your time coming down.
The walk up there was beautiful. We went there for sunrise and saw a lot of light bugs. The view was well worth the approximately one hour walk up there.
Beautiful view, quiet and not many people here. Also the way up is very pretty and not too easy.
Worth to go up there for sunset, the view is amazing
BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE! One of the Best thing i've done in Laos
Great small hike with a rewarding view at the end. Perfect for a sunset.
Amazing views and great exercise climbing up here!
It takes about 40-60min to get up to the viewpoint, but the view is probably one of the best I have ever seen and really worth the 20k entrance fee.
