Kingfisher Ecolodge Location & Map

Kingfisher Ecolodge has a beautiful setting in the northern wetlands of Xe Pian NPA (National Protected Area). This unique ecosystem is said to be one of the most impressive of the 20 NPAs in Laos. Located in Champasak Province, Kingfisher Ecolodge is south of Pakse, off Route 13 South at the 48km marker from Pakse. The total distance from Pakse to Kingfisher Ecolodge by road is approximately 58km.

Kingfisher Ecolodge is located just outside Ban Khiet Ngong (N 14° 46' 21.5" - E 106° 02' 37.7" - 157 m a.s.l.), Pathoumphone district, Champasak Province.

The easiest way to get to Kingfisher Ecolodge is to book a taxi / songtheaw in Pakse or other locations. Kingfisher Ecolodge can assist you with transportation bookings if contacted in advance via telephone or preferably email.

If using public transport, local buses (Songthaew) run daily between Pakse's southern bus station (Lak Pet station) and Khiet Ngong village; usually one of these songtheaw leaves the village at 08:00 and Lak Pet station at around 12:00 (NOTE: times were correct at time of writing and can change and vary. Please check on the ground of exact times).

You can also catch one the many buses which travel down Route 13 South from Paske to Don Khong district, and get dropped off at the junction with Route 18 at Km 48 (lak si-sip-pet) in Ban Thang Baeng village although it may be difficult to find a transport to continue to Ban Khiet Ngong.

If in private transport: from the junction (Ban Thang Baeng, km 48) you must follow Route 18a (heading to Attapeu Province) for about 8 km, then turn right at some large signboard for the last 2 km to reach Ban Khiet Ngong and Kingfisher Ecolodge.
