| Laos
receives a very high annual rainfall and its high mountain
ranges and extensive river system together creates some
of the most beautiful and stunning waterfalls in the
world. In fact, the largest waterfall by volume in Southeast
Asia, Khone Phapeng, is located in Laos. Laotian people
often use waterfalls (called tad in Lao language) for
weekend getaways, picnics and family freak outs.
Oudomxay is normally an entry point to the more popular
tourist destinations of Luang Namtha in the north and
Luang Prabang to
the south. However, the countryside of Oudomxay offers
a very good sample unseen natural beauty. Although Oudomxay
does not have a national protected area, it does have
some of the thickest forests in northern Laos. The province
is a good location for visiting Hmong and Khmu villages.
It is also known for its natural hot springs in Muang
La and some spectacular waterfalls, most of which are
still untouched and undeveloped
The Nam Kat Waterfall , positioned in Oudomxay is operated
by the Oudomxay travel office. It is a provincial protected
area about 20 km southeast of Oudomxay (Muang Xay or
Udom Xai). It is an ideal place for day outs and picnics.
