NORTHERN ADVENTURE 7 DAYS / 6 NIGHTS (USD878 PER PERSON)

TOUR ITINERARY:


Day 1: Vientiane Arrival
Arrive in Vientiane International Airport. Meet and transfer to the hotel for check in. Afternoon, bike fitting. Welcome dinner and overnight in Vientiane.


Day 2: Vientiane to Vang Vieng  (80km)
Breakfast at the hotel. Fill in water and be prepared for our first day biking. Event Vientiane is a quiet capital city comparing to their neighboring countries but the road is still busy. So, we ride to follow a single line and watch for the traffic. We will have the first water stop in 20km to enjoy snack, fruits and drinks. Living mountains behind in the backdrop, we will ride into the flatter land toward Vang Vieng. Dinner and overnight in Vang Vieng. (B,L,D)


Day 3: Vang Vieng to Kasi  (57km)
Early morning is free to go caving, tubing on the river or relaxing in one of the many restaurants for breakfast. The ride to Kasi is a relatively easy day traveling through the lush green of rice fields. Vang Vieng is set in a prime location. Surrounded by limestone peaks, caves and rivers this town see its fair share of travelers but for good reason. We should arrive in the afternoon. Dinner and overnight in Kasi. (B,L,D)


Day 4: Kasi to Kiew Ka Cham (94km)
After breakfast, fill in water and be prepared to get on the bike.  Today is the hard part of cycling with some up hills and down hills. So, we will start a bit early. You will be high in the mountains for the first half of the day following a ridge line up and down with peaks all around. In the afternoon it is time to relax a bit as the road is largely downhill along a valley to our overnight stop of Kiew Ka Cham, a small village on top of the mountains. Few people stop here overnight so the accommodation is very simple. It is special experience to stay in such a place. (B,L,D)


Day 5: Kiew Ka Cham to Luang Prabang (78km)
After breakfast. We begin our cycling heading to Luang Prabang. We pass through lush forest and many small H’Mong villages that sit dwarfed by the amazing landscape of limestone mountains that surround them. Enjoy lunch with some snack, local fruits, and drinks. Then we have a 20 minutes power nap before continue cycling to Luang Prabang.  After lunch we are faced with what is without doubt the most difficult part of cycling but also one of the most rewarding with two huge uphill climbs. Dinner and overnight in Luang Prabang. (B,L,D)


Day 6: Luang Prabang (Kuang Sii Waterfall) 62km
After a restful day we hit the bikes for a ride to the stunning Kuang Sii Waterfall. The ride is along a small road alongside the Mekong River passing through small villages, rice fields and forest. At the waterfall enjoy a swim, picnic lunch and a visit to the tiger and bear rescue centre before riding back to Luang Prabang. (B,L)


Day 7: Luang Prabang Departure
Breakfast at the hotel. Free at leisure until transfer for departure flight. This trip can be extended with our Southern Adventure trip starting in Pakse. We can help to arrange the flight ticket from Luang Prabang to Pakse. If you wish to fly to other city in the neighboring country, we also can help to arrange with a competitive price. (B)
