'''Tadlo''' is a village in Laos.

Get in

From Pakse, get a bus to Salavan and asked to be dropped off at the road for Tadlo (25,000-30,000 kip). From the drop-off point after the bridge, it's about 2km down a road on the right hand side. There may be a tuk-tuk waiting to take you and the going rate is 5,000 kip/person.

Get around

Tadlo is easily navigated on foot.

See

'''Tadlo waterfalls.''' There are 3 waterfalls within 10km of Tadlo. The first is right next to the village, the second is about a 1km walk upstream and the third is about 8km upstream. The second waterfall can be easily found by following the jungle path on the left hand side of the river (facing upstream). You will hear it before you see it, and there is a home-made set of steps to take you down to the bottom of the waterfall where you can swim. You can also hop around the large stones at the top of the waterfall, and even jump off if you have the cahones! (although check the area you're jumping into first!).

Do

'''Trekking.''' Treks with guides can be arrange at Tim's Guest House & Restaurant for around 40,000 kip/person. Sites include the surrounding forest and Katu and Alak tribes people, as well as waterfalls.

'''Elephant Rides.''' Tim's Guest House & Restaurant and Tadlo Lodge can both arrange an elephant trek for 50,000 kip/person. The trek takes around 1 1/2 hours and the elephants are very friendly and timid.
