Explore Vientiane and Local Villages Biking Tour

Summary

You will be picked up at your hotel in Vientiane at 9:00am and start this exciting 8-hour cycling trail with mountain bikes in the surroundings of Vientiane. From Vientiane a truck or tuk tuk will take you with the bikes to Ban Tanmixay Village to start cycling, passing picturesque rice fields to the left and the mountains of the Phou Khao Khouay National Protected Area on the right. Take a break upon reaching the River Time Resort at the Nam Ngum River, where we take a ferry down the river for about 30 minutes to Ban Thadindeng, a Hmong village. Explore the village before continuing on a dirt road in the midst of the rice fields.
