 Khammouane
Province
Khammouane
province contains two vast wilderness areas known as the Khammuane
Limestone National Biodiversity Conservation Area and the Nakai
- Nam Theun National Biodiversity Conservation Area.
The Kahmmuane Limestone
is a maze of limestone karst peaks forming a stone forest
of caves, rivers and pristine jungle. For most
of the wet season, the area is not accessible by road - most
'roads' being tracks with log bridges across deeps streams.
These tracks are often routes across rice paddies near the river
banks - during the rainy season, the only way to get around
is by boat.
Limestone Karst - Southern
Laos
The National Tourism
Authority of Lao PDR is currently investigating ecotourism projects
in this beautiful region.
The capital of
Khammouane province is Tha Kek, situated across the Mekong from
Nakorn Phanom in Thailand.
