Off-road Laos Motorbike Tour to Explore one of the Biggest Protected Areas – 4 days

You get on your motorbike and start the journey to experience the road stretching from Luang Prabang to Viengthong. First of all, you take a short ride to the northeast to leave the town before turning the track surrounded by the magnificent area of the countryside. After that, you come back to the tarmacked road and move a distance of 70 kilometers to get to Viengthong, also known as Muang Hiam. Coming here, you certainly will be excited about green rice fields embracing the town. Just go for a short walk or ride, you can visit the beautiful villages of Tai Daeng, H’mong, and Khamu. After climbing off the motorbike, you check-in at the guesthouse and stay overnight here.

You start your morning with a ride from Viengthong to a small Khmu village before going on the excursion to Nam Nern Night Safari. You come off your motorbike to take a boat trip. After sailing up the river for a while, the locals will take you to the eco-lodge for lunch. Then, you spend time relaxing before continuing to enjoy the boat-based tour. The next stop is a mineral lick, from which you will enter the forest for the discovery of how the animals here take mineral nutrients. After that, you come back to the boat to travel upstream for a campfire dinner.

Once it gets darker, you will get an opportunity to enjoy the most marvelous moments when your boat moves around the river so that you can observe the wildlife of a variety of animals such as sambar deer, owls, and civets in the night. Finally, you take overnight in the eco-lodge in this protected area.

After the 24-hour boat trip around Nam Nern Night Safari, you will travel back to Viengthong. In the morning, you wake up and go for a walk to the surrounding area. While going on the hike, the Khmu locals will go with you and help you understand more about various types of medicinal plants in the region and explore every corner of the village. After that, you enjoy your local breakfast before traveling back to the starting point by boat.

Say goodbye to the boat tour and begin the ride back to Luang Prabang. On the way, you will have a stop in Nong Khiaw for lunch. With this tour, you will not have much leisure time to enjoy a lot in Nong Khiaw, which is one of the most attractive destinations in Luang Prabang. The highlight of Nong Khiaw is the bridge over the Nam Ou River that connects the two banks of Nong Khiaw, from which you can admire the breathtaking scenery of mountains and rivers.  After leaving Nong Khiaw, you turn to Route 13, which gives you a leisurely ride through the winding road with a beautiful view. Apart from Route 13, you can choose to follow the road where you initially started the tour from Luang Prabang to Viengthong.
