Highlights Of The Rock

Immerse yourself in one of the largest limestone forest in all of Asia with a fascinating itinerary of zip lines, spider net and canopy walks. The viewpoint, known as “The Peak of the loop” is a must stop on the Thakek Loop that also acts as a tourist information centre for all visitors in Khammouane Province. Whether having a coffee at the Coffee Bar, delicious meal at the Khob Chai Deu restaurant  or an incredible adventure is what you seek, the stunning views are assured!

Discover the Limestone Forest of Phou Pha Marn and experience the Highlights of The Rock for yourself! This experience is perfect for those who want to enjoy the highlights of the Protected Area within a short time. Accessible for almost everybody, it is recommended for families and friends. Start the tour with an epic zip line, flying across the valley of this stunning landscape, to the thrilling circuit of via ferrata, suspended bridges, ziplines and spider net. The trip ends with an incredible fly across the rock formations on the final zipline, back to the Phou Pha Marn visitor centre where you can enjoy the views from the Khop Chai Der restaurant.

It is not a very physically challenging activity, and can easily be accomplished with a reasonable level of fitness. However, it takes place at high heights. The weight limit for all our zipline tours is 120kg. You need to be at least 120 cm tall to participate. The weather may be hot, especially in dry season, and there is very little shade. The activity can only be done wearing closed shoes.

Responsibility 

When booking on a Green Discovery Laos tour, the client understands that Green Discovery Laos runs adventure tours in Southeast Asia where the standards of accommodation, transport, hygiene, level of infrastructure development and medical facilities and telecommunication services are not necessarily the same as one may used to at home, or one would find on a ‘conventional holiday’.
