In-Depth Information
Note: Use the bathroom before admission (there's one up the hill, but it's along the road,
not the walking path).
After arriving and paying the admission fee, head up the hill and right, down the quasi-
rugged dirt trail. You get the sense that thousands - millions? - of feet have trodden this
path, but since you're discovering it for the first time it's all good.
Before reaching the waterfall, you'll have the opportunity (but not the obligation) to take
in the Bear Rescue Centre (the cleverly named bearlao.com ) . These bears are rescued from
wildlifetrade,andgetplentyofroomtomeanderaroundtheirarea.Eachhasaname,which
a sign offers along with a description of each bear. Get some pictures of the Malayan Sun
bears and the Asiatic Black bears, on the raised wooden platform. If you're arriving with a
tour group, however, zoom ahead or lag back to avoid the crowd of smartphones and point-
and-shoots.
Not pictured nearby are other signs (in English) telling you more about how the bears were
rescued and their personalities - also around is an ample opportunity to buy t-shirts (save
the bears), computer cases, aluminum water bottles and so on.
