Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Vientiane to Nam Ngum Lake

    You'll head northeast from Vientiane on a motorcycle ride through quiet countryside with rice paddies and rolling hills heading toward Nam Ngum Lake. The ride takes you through peaceful villages and agricultural areas before reaching this blue-water reservoir with islands scattered across it. Once there, you'll spend the afternoon on a boat exploring the lake, stopping at nearby islands and checking out fishing villages along the shore. By evening, you'll settle in to watch the sunset over the water, which gives you time to relax after the morning's ride.

    Included Activities

    • Boat exploration of Nam Ngum Lake
    • Visit nearby islands
    • Discover fishing villages

  2. Day 2

    Nam Ngum Lake to Thalat

    From Nam Ngum Lake, you'll take a short motorcycle ride to Thalat, a small town near the dam. The route winds through hills and follows along the lake's edge, so the scenery stays nice without being too strenuous. Once in Thalat, you'll walk through local markets to see fresh produce and handmade goods from the area. After that, you'll visit the dam structure itself and learn about how it's important to the region. The evening gives you a chance to try local food and wind down after exploring.

    Included Activities

    • Explore local markets
    • Visit the dam
    Landmarks/POIs
    Nam Ngum Dam
  3. Day 3

    Thalat to Phou Khao Khouay National Park

    You'll ride southeast from Thalat heading into Phou Khao Khouay National Park, and you'll notice the landscape gets more rugged and forested as you go. The day is spent checking out the park's natural areas, including thick forests and waterfalls that cascade down the rocks. You'll hike to Tad Leuk Waterfall, which gives you a chance to swim and cool off. Walking the forest trails, you might spot different wildlife around the park. It's a pretty full day of nature and outdoor activities.

    Included Activities

    • Hike to Tad Leuk Waterfall
    • Forest trail exploration
    • Wildlife viewing

  4. Day 4

    Phou Khao Khouay National Park to Vientiane

    On your final day, you'll ride back toward Vientiane, gradually making your way down from the mountains into lower areas. Along the route, you'll stop at cultural and historical sites to learn more about Laos and its heritage. Once you reach Vientiane, you'll visit the Patuxai Monument and That Luang Stupa, which are iconic landmarks in the city. The evening is left open for reflection, giving you time to think through everything you've seen over the four days and all the different landscapes you've traveled through.

    Included Activities

    • Visit Patuxai Monument
    • Visit That Luang Stupa

    I did the Laos Motorcycle Tour from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng in Apr 2024, and it was an unforgettable experience! The mountain views were absolutely stunning, and riding through the winding roads was a real thrill. Our guide was super friendly and made sure we were always comfortable. We stopped at some great local spots along the way, which really added to the trip. If you're into adventure and beautiful scenery, I highly recommend this tour!
