Kong Lor Cave is definitely worth the effort to get to. Love the 1) travel to get there, 2) the end of the world feeling in the valley and 3) the visit of the cave. In Dec 24 I took a bus from Vien…Full review by Wolrdwide

Q:
Hi, I am a bit claustrophobic...need suggestions as to whether I should go through this cave. I know it is big but dark. Thanks
A:
The river through the cave is wide and the ceiling is tall. You shouldn’t feel claustrophobic in there.

Q:
We plan to take a car and driver from Vientiane to Kong Lor, stay overnight, visit cave next day, stay overnight again and then return to Vientiane the next day. This is a question on how to get back to Vientiane. I am not sure that we will find a car and driver around Kong Lor to drive us back to Vientiane - correct me if I am wrong. So as a backup we need to plan to take the bus back. Does anyone know what time the bus leaves Kong Lor to Vientiane? Does it run every day, as we plan to return on a Saturday? Any advice would set my mind at rest, thanks!
A:
TO be honest you'd be better off taking the dedicated KONG LOR bus from Vientiane Bus station. It leaves at around 10 am each day. The trip takes about 8 hours and goes directly …

TO be honest you'd be better off taking the dedicated KONG LOR bus from Vientiane Bus station. It leaves at around 10 am each day. The trip takes about 8 hours and goes directly to the ECO LODGE GUESTHOUSE in KONG LOR VILLAGE. If you use the bus you'll need to stay 2 nights in KONG LOR as the departure time for the bus back to VIENTIANE is 7 am each morning. At least you'll have a full day to do the cave without feeling rushed. Safe travels, MEGA

Q:
Does anybody know if the cave is open at the moment, given there has been a lot of rain? Does it flood completely after heavy rain? We also wonder if the road to the cave might be flooded?
A:
Hi, it wasn't open yesterday and not this morning. Not sure this afternoon. The river level isn't the issue, it's the driftwood.
