Welcome to Champasak
The province of Champassak is home to one of Asia's great, but least visited temples, the UNESCO World Hertiage Site of Wat Phu. Pakse, the capital is situated at the confluence of the Se river and the Mekong (Pakse means 'mouth of the Se') and is a busy trading town. The province also encapsulates much of the Bolaven Plateau, an area that is home to a number of ethnic minorities, multiple waterfalls and is the home of the much sought-after, Lao Coffee. To the south is Si Pan Don (four thousand islands), where the Mekong reaches up to 16km wide during the rainy season and the Khone Phapeng Falls.
If this is not enough to make you Stay Another Day, then try visiting the very rare, fresh-water Irrawaddy dolphins, the elephants of Ban Khiet Nyong, visit SE Asia's largest waterfall or just chill by the Mekong with a cold Beer Lao....
Xe Pian Ecotourism Project
Xe Pian National Protected Area (NPA) spans 240,000 hectares across the Champassak and Attapeu Provinces on the southern tip of Laos. This hilly lowland and extensive flatland habitat is a mosaic of rivers and wetlands, semi-evergreen and mixed deciduous forests. At least 25 endangered mammal species and a number of rare bird species like the Woolly-necked Stork are found in Xe Pian NPA.

Lao Mountain Coffee
We are a small roasting company focused on providing the highest quality beans that are uniquely blended and freshly roasted. We have the great privilege of using only Lao grown beans from the Bolaven Plateau in the South, a fertile, high elevation volcanic terrain perfect for specialty coffee. All of our coffee beans come from elevations between 1,000m and 1,300m.
