Rising 150 m (492 ft) in the center of Luang Prabang's old town, Mount Phousi offers a fantastic view of the city's architectural, religious, and cultural landmarks.

Halfway up the hill, notice the big-bellied Buddha statue tucked in a grotto. Bring an extra water bottle, a hat, good walking shoes, and some insect repellent.

  20kip to the top, i went mid day and had the entire walk and place to myself at the top which is what I like. I heard the sunset is like way too crowded. A short walk up a bunch of steps to the top, really manageable just bring water. A breath taking view of the entire town, a must do

  Cool place to see the sunset. But beware that you have an entrance fee (20.000 KIP = 2 USD) and if you wanna get a decent spot make sure you arrive at least 30 min before the sunset time else it will be so crowded that you won’t be able to get a proper shot!
