DAY 01: LUANG PRABANG MOTORBIKE TOUR TO OUDOMXAY (L)
We’ll depart from Luang Prabang in the morning, taking a short blast up Route 13 northbound. We’ll soon turn on to dirt roads, following a winding valley through the mountains. This route has all of the elements to make a great first day on the bike — thrilling twists around rivers and quick turns through small villages.
Overnight in Oudomxay.
DAY 02: OUDOMXAI MOTORBIKE TOUR TO BOUN TAI (B, L)
Today makes for a stunning ride through the mountainous area of Boun Tai, a quiet town just 100km. away from Phongsaly, the northernmost province of Laos. The route passes many diverse ethnic groups that live up in these highland areas. We will pass lush rice fields on winding roads towards Boun Tai.
Overnight in Boun Tai.
DAY 03: BOUN TAI MOTORBIKE TOUR TO MUANG KHUA (B, L)
Today’s ride will feature hair-raising single trail sections that are hardly used, and rickety bridges crossing a few rivers on our way to Muang Khua, Phongsaly. There’s a second route option that we may take depending on how intense you wish to make the ride this day.
Overnight in Muang Khua
DAY 04: MUANG KHUA MOTORBIKE TOUR TO VIENG THONG (B, L)
After breakfast, we will head out in the morning for 80km, ride off-road before switching back onto tarmac roads. This paved route has enough twists and turns with extended views of the mountains around to make for an amazing ride. Take a dip in the local hot springs to relax those aching muscles upon arrival in Vieng Thong.
Overnight in Vieng Thong.
DAY 05: VIENG THONG MOTORBIKE TOUR VIA SAM NEUA TO VIENGXAY (B, L)
Today will be almost entirely off-road as we ride out to the most secret mountain in all of Laos: Lima Site 85. This area was used by the Hmong ‘secret army’, the CIA, and the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. Riding a motorbike through this area is inspiring as it features some of the best trails through picturesque valleys and mountain ranges.
Overnight in Viengxay.
DAY 06: VIENGXAY MOTORBIKE TOUR VIA SAM NEUA TO PHONSAVANH (B)
Today will be another big day as we ride along small trails that cut through the mountainside, providing some of the best views in Laos that will leave you amazed. We will cross some rivers along the way as we pass through remote sections before arriving in Phonsavanh.
Overnight in Phonsavanh
DAY 07: PHONSAVANH MOTORBIKE TOUR BACK TO LUANG PRABANG (B)
While this is the final day of the tour, it will not be disappointing. We begin in the morning hitting the trail back to Luang Prabang, featuring stunning paths that take us through the plains of jars in Phonsavanh. We will ride through mountainous areas as we head back to Luang Prabang for a well-deserved beer.
