DAY 7: ATTAPEU MOTORCYCLE TOUR TO CHAMPASAK
Across the famous Boleavan Plateau, pass through coffe plantations and farms in some of Lao’s most fertile areas. Visit plantations and see how Lao coffee is making its way to a Starbucks near you. We will arrive in Champasak and take time to visit Lao’s most famous Angkor era temple, Wat Po. It is located at the base of mount Phu Kao, just shy of the Mekhong River in Champasak province.
There was a temple on the site as early as the 5th century, but the surviving structures date from the 11th to 13th centuries. Little restoration work has been done, other than the restoration of boundary posts along the path. Wat Phou was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.

After departing Champasak, we go towards the tarmac for a quick blast. Our day will see both on and off road as we snake along the Mekong and Lao’s main southern route 13 to Savanakhet. It is the 5th largest city and Laos and sits just opposite Thailand, Mukdahon, on the Mekong. Fabulous casino gambling and first class food and lodging are on order as we celebrate coming out “of the jungle.”
DAY 9: SAVANAKHET MOTORCYCLE TOUR TO THAKHEK
Continuing northbound, today is much like the day before, as we trek along the off-road sections that shadow the route 13 along the Mekong. Some roads follow along the River, others take an inland twist. Either way, enjoyable riding and views for all.
