India to Australia: Day 56 - Waterfall that enchanted in Laos
Do you ever want to feel enchanted? Then this is the place to be, the ultimate waterfall. It was on my bucket list and I have been waiting to visit this place for a long time. It was a 50 minute ride to get there from the city.
I started at the lowest pool and wandered towards the waterfall. As I walked through and around each pool, I felt as if I'm in a fairy tale, with water flowing over white limestone rocks into aquamarine pools surrounded by tropical trees. The swim here was so refreshing and magical.
The legend says that a wise old man summoned the water by digging into the earth. Then a golden deer made its home under a rock, from under the new waters which gave it the name Kuang si
The first thing that you notice about the waterfall is the natural blue water, the color is from centuries of cascading over limestone rocks have resulted in very high deposits of white calcium carbonate in the water, particles which are great at reflecting light, hence producing the milky turquoise-blue colour.
