Stunning Nature
With the wide variety of landscapes in Laos, there is plenty to discover for the avid cyclist. Cycle out of Luang Prabang through the mountains to Phukuon for a spectacular panorama of the forested hills and valleys below, then ride into the Plain of Jars where thousands of stone jars are mysteriously scattered around the Xiangkhoang Plateau. Pedal through the countryside outside of Vang Vieng and from your seat, you’ll see the bright green rice paddies framed by limestone karsts in the distance. Wherever the bike takes you in Laos, you’re sure to find breathtaking scenery.
