LUANG PRABANG EXPLORER

On our tour of Luang Prabang and beyond, we travel along near empty roads through magnificent scenery in a part of Asia where time seems to stand still.

This remote land that was once known as the Kingdom of Lang Xang, or the Land of a Million Elephants. The old royal capital of Luang Prabang, nestled among mountains at the confluence of the Mekong and Khan Rivers, this delightful town has a unique and special charm. We spend the two days of the tour cycling amongst the countryside surrounding Luang Prabang and also visit the stunning Krung Sri falls. As we are usually finished the rides by early afternoon we have plenty of time to discover the temples and French colonial splendour that drove UNESCO to make Luang Prabang a world heritage site.

TRIP PROFILE

We ride just around 60-110 km mostly on fairly good asphalt or hard packed dirt trails. There is just enough broken road or unpaved dirt roads to make a mountain bike with front suspension necessary. The rides are circular and are fully supported.

Traffic is exceptionally light and will see few cars. Riding is usually over by early afternoon so plenty of time to wander around discover Luang Prabang and soak up the atmosphere.

This tour does not include accommodation but there is a variety of accommodation and includes comfortable and charming guesthouses up to luxury hotels. Spiceroads can recommend and book any accommodation requirements you may have.
