Located right in the heart of Luang Prabang’s old town, there are several ways you can go up and down the hill. Note that there is a modest fee to be paid to access. We thought we might go up early..... more »

Wonderful place to watch the sunset. Get there early if you want a place to a it as it gets busy. Also nice for a wander around and explore, lots of statues and carved serpents etc... The views are worth the climb.
-
You have to walk up stairs first that takes 20 minutes. But, you will see all city with very nice view. So, I recommend that you don't miss to see sunset here.
