Adventurous Biking Trip

Exploring Vang Vieng and see my hometown in a different light ! Cycling is an awesome way to explore a place less traveled where its charm and natural beauty are retained.

Cycling across the rickety bamboo bridge, anyone?

Round the paddy field
Going into the village to meet the locals
A tour that suits all ages
Cycling to Phou Kham Cave
Cycling to the Blue Lagoon




A Trek to the Waterfall

We can cycle and stop by the Khmu Village before trekking up to the waterfall. Locals describe the  mist that comes from high up the waterfall as "flowers rising". 
I will prepare a simple Laos cuisine for you by Laos style (we sharpen bamboo pole and use it to grill fish !) Meal is also accompanied by a toast of local rice wine (called lao-lao)
I will share with you how the locals live off the jungle by using the edible plants for food and medicine. Enjoy!
