II. In walking distance:
1. Tad Thong waterfall:
A 30-minute walk from Hillside through the valley will take travelers to Tad Thong waterfall and only a few people know of this site.

2. Nahm Dong Park
Hillside has tied up with Nahm Dong Park, a 15-minute walk away. The park is the ultimate place for quality time, to which we are intimately connected with. There are some waterfalls, a sensory garden, a viewpoint café, a restaurant, and a bar. There is also a tree-top walk, some zip lines, and several workshops.

III. Easy to get to
1. Luang Prabang Wildlife Sanctuary
Another project we have tied up with is The Luang Prabang Wildlife Sanctuary. It has enclosures and facilities for many endangered wildlife species they have rescued including macaques, leopard cats, tortoises, birds, civets, and even endangered red pandas.
2. Luang Prabang, Unesco Heritage
The main attraction in the region is a 25-minute drive away. Luang Prabang slows your pulse and awakens your imagination with its combination of world-class comfort and spiritual nourishment. Sitting at the sacred confluence of the Mekong River and the Nam Khan River, nowhere else can lay claim to this Unesco-protected gem and romance of 33 gilded wats, saffron-clad monks, faded Indochinese villas, and exquisite fusion cuisine.
