This was excellent! We went in the dry season and it was still fabulous. We learned so much about the importance of bamboo as well as how to weave it, cook with it, and eat it! We enjoyed a lovely morning of learning about Lao culture and how bamboo is integral to the food and culture, played instruments, games, wove mats, and had an amazing lunch that we learned to cook from the guides there. Truly don't miss out on this experience!

Full description

Spend a full day cooking traditional and authentic Lao food and exploring the Kuang Si falls. Begin your journey with a tuk-tuk pick-up from your hotel at 8.30 AM and head to a rustic pavilion modeled on a traditional Lao house in a picturesque setting. 

After a warm welcome, your guide will explain how bamboo is a key part of Lao culture and how numerous items found in Lao households are made from the versatile bamboo plant, including fishing tools and musical instruments.

Then, try your hand at weaving a souvenir mat made from strips of the bamboo plant. Your local teacher will guide you through techniques that have been used for hundreds of years.

Learn how to sharpen knives and cut bamboo into strips, then make a small mat using an overlapping weaving process. After admiring your finished creation, learn how the bamboo plant also plays a vital role in everyday Lao cuisine.

In a hands-on workshop, you will then assist a chef in cooking traditional local dishes such as bamboo shoot soup, bamboo shoot steamed in banana leaf, and bamboo shoot dip. After class, relax on the terrace and enjoy your culinary creations along with views of the countryside.

After lunch, you will visit the most beautiful waterfalls in Luang Prabang, the mighty Kuang Si falls. You will also get to see the sun bears living in the rescue center inside the falls.

Finally, enjoy swimming in the turquoise pool inside the falls before being transferred back to your hotel in Luang Prabang in the evening.

Honestly the BEST activity I've booked throughout any of my travels in Southeast Asia. The organisation was flawless, allowing us to do countless activities in the space of one day without ever feeling rushed (bamboo instrument introduction, bamboo weaving, bamboo cooking, lunch, bamboo dancing, Kuang Si Falls). The service and hospitality of the Bamboo experience team was fantastic, they were extremely kind, were able to accommodate dietary requirements (ie no pork for my boyfriend, some other customers wanted less spice etc), and the hygiene standards of the whole facility were fantastic, especially given the (breathtakingly beautiful) rural location. We also had ample time to explore Kuang Si Falls and swim in the aquamarine pools at our leisure. Despite being well known for travellers in Laos, the falls were by no means crowded and we really enjoyed our visit. The entire day will go down as a highlight in our trip and it is hard to fault any part of it. Highly recommend to anyone!
