Kenlon and Kaeng Nyui Waterfall,  Vang Vieng, Laos

The trail was well-paved. Bridges spanned over every stream and small river. Stairs were installed wherever there's an incline in the terrain. The journey was meant to be a friendly hike through a forest to access the waterfalls.

Halfway is  a smaller waterfall called Kenlon which is only 5 metres in height.

Deeper into the forest is Kaeng Nyui waterfall, the spot where Van Vieng is also known at. It is a 34 metres high fall. Apparently, "nyui-nyui" is the word that the locals used to describe the fine spray caused by the fall's splashing so that gave it its name.

This is our second day "do it your own" visit at Vang Vieng, Laos once was a sleepy little farming town but  inevitably it has transformed into a backpacker epicenter in the southern area of Southeast Asia.
