Geocache Description:


PHOUSI HILL

Phousi Hill, also called Phousi Mountain is a small mountain in the center of Luang Prabang, located on the peninsula between the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers.

Phou Si, which means “sacred hill” is about 100 meters high. Although it is quite a climb to the top, it is worth the effort. From the top you will have great 360 degree views of Luang Prabang, the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers and the forested mountains.

When the weather is clear you can see all the way up to the golden stupa of the Wat Phra Phome Phao Santi Chedi forest temple on the mountains East of Luang Prabang.

On top of Phousi Hill is a narrow platform with a small Buddhist temple and a golden stupa. The hill is a popular place to watch the sunset; the narrow platform fills up quickly and gets pretty crowded. So watch out for mugglers!

THE CACHE

The cache is located on the stairway that start at the east side of the hill. It is hidden at the part of the stairway before you would have to buy a ticket. It can get pretty crowded so please do not let anybody see you take the cache. please close the cache carefully and put it back where it originally was. Good luck finding it!!
