Itinerary description

An easy hike just across the river. You start by going through the village, nothing too remarkable, just a nice temple and a lot of rubbish on the sides of the street. Next there is a temple at the top of the hill when exiting the village, it is not well maintained and they ask for 20000 kips to visit, that's too much in my opinion.
They also ask you for a 20k fee for ten next temple. I skipped that but the paved path around the temple along the river is quite nice and free.
The next temple and it's garden is nicer with tons of flowers and scary statues of daemons.
After that you can continue up the trail and visit a large jungle shrine that I recommend.
After going back down it's possible to go back up for a small temple above a pond.
And finally, the last temple, Khokphap, is harder to reach but the trail is on Google maps and can easily be spotted from the bottom of the jungle shrine trail. Just go down to the river at the end to find the entrance. It's a temple with a large green park and several stupas, it's quite nice.
