Being on the other side of the Mekong than Pakse, it's a great departure point if you're heading to Wat Phou Champassak. The village itself is not void of interest, and you'll be enchanted by a short stay here.

My suggestion

Champassak, close to Pakse, but still over an hour away. Go on a group elephant trek - it's a bit of a hippy trip but well worth the effort!

Champasak is a town in the south of Laos, considered to be an historical and culturally important destination. One of the temples, Vat Phu, is a classified UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a pleasant stop and a departure point for cultural visits.

My suggestion

Champasak is an agreeable stop-off if you have time on your hands. If not, southern Laos has far better surprises and you risk being disappointed by Vat Phu.

At 30km from Pakse, Champasak is a peaceful village in the heart of the Laotian countryside. Seeing as Wat Phu is less than 10km away, it's surprising the village remains so quiet.

My suggestion

The Mahakhabousa Festival, the biggest in the region, is held during the February full moon.
