After breakfast, travel back to Luang Prabang through the stunning
northern landscapes before boarding the express train to Vang Vieng,
famous for its impressive karst mountains and outdoor adventures.
The modern Lao–China railway makes the journey fast and comfortable, allowing
you to enjoy more time exploring once you arrive.
Begin your afternoon with kayaking down the Nam
Song River, passing beautiful farmland, jungle, and limestone cliffs.
Make a stop at Tham Phu Kham Cave, home to a serene reclining
Buddha and glowing shafts of natural light. After exploring the cave, cool off
in the refreshing waters of the nearby Blue Lagoon, a favorite
swimming spot for locals and travelers alike.
A picnic or local-style lunch will be served riverside.
Return to your hotel by late afternoon for some well-earned relaxation. If
you're up for it, consider an optional sunset hot air balloon ride
— the views over Vang Vieng are absolutely unforgettable.
Overnight in Vang Vieng.
Note: In Vang Vieng, local transport is often by local truck
or open-air pickup — the authentic way to explore the countryside!
