Easy Biking Around Rural Luang Prabang - Full Day Tour - Fall tours
This tour will serve different activities based on 2 different seasons: high water season and low water season. It will be a lot of fun during the high water season when the waterfall is flowing, but dirty roads can be more challenging. So it depends on your preferences to choose the one that best suits you.
Here is the detail program for each season:
High water season (August to January):
At the departure time around 8 am, you will be welcome at the bike shop by a local tour guide. You will be given a well-maintained mountain bike as your main transportation of your bike tour.
You will start the tour by cycling from the city center to Wat Pa PhonPhao temple, the first destination of the tour. You will not only visit and enjoy the fantastic beauty of this golden temple but also get a great view over Luang Prabang city.
Then, you continue riding your bike along a paved road through the teakwood forests and rice paddy fields. After enjoying the beautiful landscape with fresh atmosphere, you cycle along the Nam Khan River to visit the resting place of Henry Mouhot, an Anglophile French naturalist widely known as the “discoverer” of Angkor Wat.
After visiting the tomb, you continue biking through villages and past jungle-covered mountains until you reach the pier located on the banks of the Nam Khan River. Here, you will embark on a boat to cruise up the river to Tad Sae waterfall where you’ll have lunch in a beautiful landscape. After lunch, you can swim in the jungle. In addition, you can see and take photos of elephants there. It’s advisable that you buy some bananas and feed the elephants.
You then get on boat to head back to the camping site. You cycle back to Luang Prabang city following a route with beautiful scenery.
The tour ends about 5 pm.
Low water season (February to July):
In the low water season, Tad Sae waterfall is dry. You will then take a boat ride and walk into the jungle to see baby elephants instead of the waterfall. However, it still depends on the location and availability of the elephants.

Highlights of Laos - Fall tours
4.6
All round a good trip, a good introduction to a country I didn't know much about.
Using the train to get to Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang is a smoother and faster way to get to places than going by road, but you are not allowed to take anything which could be considered as a weapon (as in hand luggage on a plane), even in your luggage - it will screened and items confiscated.
Fortunately the guide was able to get things taken from group members taken to Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang by road.
I would recommend this trip if you are interested in visiting south east Asia.
