The Directions
| Starting beneath Vanphaxay Restaurant, you’ll want to cross the bridge over the Nam Song River (Vang Vieng). As soon as you’ve crossed this river you should see a large sign pointing straight on to Lusi Cave and Pha Poak Hill Viewpoint. Follow this path for at least 10 minutes. |
| After 10 or 15 minutes you should have to turn right at a pretty obvious yellow arrow. You’ll be following paths now through pretty farmland heading parallel with the limestone karsts. Keep following these paths and the yellow arrows (or white bags on sticks) for another 10 or 15 minutes. You’ll have to turn left and right once or twice more, but it should be obvious. Pha Poak is the smallest limestone karst in the middle with a yellow flag on top. |
| Once you’ve paid the LAK10,000 and taken then short but strenuous hike up to Pha Poak Hill Viewpoint you’ll want to take the path on the left shortly after you leave the cave. This path leads to Lusi Cave and takes about 20 or so minutes to walk. You’ll have to turn left at one point but Lusi Cave is well signposted. After you’ve finished with the cave, you can continue to explore the area or return back to Vang Vieng the way you came. |

Top Tips
| As you can only get here on foot, this makes for an excellent outing straight from downtown Vang Vieng. |
| Consider bringing shoes or at least sturdy sandals (and maybe long clothing too) as the hike up to Pha Poak Hill Viewpoint can be a bit rough. The path to Lusi Cave can be a bit overgrown too. |
| Keep an eye out for snakes in the area. |
| Remember a flashlight for Lusi Cave! |
