Khun Nam Kham Dhip: The Sacred Headwaters of Mahaxay
Khun Nam Kham Deep is located in Mahaxay District, Khammouane Province (near Ban Na Loa). The surrounding area is enclosed by complex limestone mountains and a still pristine, lush jungle.
The word "Khun Nam": In local Lao, it means "headwaters" or the source of a river that naturally springs or flows out from beneath a limestone mountain or a cave. The word "Kham Deep": According to the oral traditions of the local people in Ban Na Sae, this limestone mountain and jungle area was believed to be a sacred zone rich in natural resources. The name "Kham Deep" may signify purity, the preciousness of nature, or it could be a name given based on the auspicious beliefs of the ancient local people.
