Small-Group Bike Tour Via the Nam Xuang and Nam Khan Rivers from Luang Prabang

Around 8am, you will be greeted and picked up by a local tour guide at your hotel. You are then transferred to a bike shop to pick a mountain bike for your tour. The time in each destination of the tour can be flexible per your request, as long as it doesn’t affect the whole plan. The total distance you will cycle is about 31 miles (50km) with mixed on- and off-road. The riding level is considered medium.

You start the biking adventure by riding out of town along the Mekong River. After crossing the old communist bridge, you stop by a traditional village, XiengLek, which is widely well-known for making mulberry paper and weaving. You leave the village and continue riding along the Nam Xuang River through villages and scenic countryside landscape. Don’t forget to take photos of this beautiful and peaceful scenery.

Then, you finish riding on-road to start the next session of the off-road route. You will cycle up and down the hills into the countryside. You will cycle along beautiful vast rice fields and local villages such as Lao Leum, Hmong, and Khmu. You will have chance to talk with local people there, take photos with them and observe their daily activities.

Leaving these villages, you keep on riding along the Nam Khan River to the last destination of the tour, the beautiful WatPhonPhao, or the “Peacefulness Temple”. This Buddhist temple is located on a hill in the southeast of Luang Prabang and well-known for its huge golden stupa and an incredible view overlooking all of Luang Prabang.

After exploring the temple, you ride back to the bike shop and end the tour about 5pm.
