Two Cascading Jewels of the Bolaven Plateau
Tad Fane and Tad Lo are signature waterfalls within southern Laos’s Bolaven Plateau - twin spectacles against the backdrop of emerald rainforest, coffee terraces, and minority villages. Tad Fane commands attention with its dramatic dual fall, carving a mist-veiled canyon visible even from afar. Trails lead to overlook decks, while thrill-seekers can soar above the fall on zip-lines fitted with mid-air hammocks and coffee perches.Tad Lo, just downstream, offers a contrasting charm - broad, moss-slick rock plates, easy access, and gentle pools perfect for cooling off or crossing via stepped boulders. Both sites connect through jungle roads passing Alak and Ngae communities, small farms, and open-air coffee stops.
The pair embodies the Bolaven loop’s essence: elemental power and serene charm side by side. With Viland Travel, visits are seamless - transport between waterfalls, local guide insights into ethnic customs and coffee culture, and time to hike, swim, sip, or zip-line. It’s a two‑part immersion: Tad Fane awes with scale and adrenaline; Tad Lo soothes with simplicity and pastoral calm.
Highlights
- Enjoy canopy treks to Tad Fane’s remote top pools for solitude
- Cross the dramatic footbridge at Tad Lo for panoramic views
- Refresh in natural plunge pools below Tad Lo’s smooth curtain falls

Tad Fane made my heart race - zip-lining through mist above its twin mega-drop, then pausing mid‑line on a hammock with coffee in hand. Later, Tad Lo soothed me - stepping across smooth rocks, swimming in clear pools, watching children fish near the footbridge. The journey between them - coffee farms, forest breezes, village paths - ties adventure and peace together beautifully.
