The Cycling In Laos trip starts from Chiang Mai and ends in Bangkok. The Cycling In Laos trip is a bicycle tour that takes 14 days. You will travel through Vietnam, Laos and Thailand and visit Bangkok, Udomxai Province, Vang Vieng and 7 other destinations. This is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, meals and others.
Laos, known as the land of a million smiles, boasts stunning mountainous landscape and a laid back atmosphere, the result of a long isolation from its neighbours. Our route takes us through some spectacular scenery, from narrow roads shaded by jungle vines to shimmering rice paddies and mountains which are home to a mix of ethnic groups. Out of the saddle, we walk through villages and bamboo forest and visit Luang Prabang with striking colonial buildings, tree-lined avenues and colourful temples. We finish our trip in bustling Bangkok. The cycling is demanding at times, but our reward is to have roads almost to ourselves in South East Asia's friendliest and least known country.
