Private Journeys in Vang Vieng

The Essence of Vang Vieng

Embrace adventure with mountain biking, trekking, or rock climbing, or explore the breathtaking caves.

Formerly a favorite spot for backpackers, Vang Vieng now attracts various tourists looking to witness the unspoiled beauty of northern Laos. This charming little town is not only surrounded by limestone hills and the Nam Song River but also has a unique combination of both exhilarating and calming outdoor activities. With all of these attractions located in such a small vicinity, one can be assured that a Vang Vieng tour will be remarkable – You won’t regret it.

Vang Vieng does have its more lively moments with adventure sports – the locals say getting on a mountain bike or going for a countryside trek is the best way for a newcomer to acquaint themselves with the area. If that’s not wild enough for you, Vang Vieng will also satisfy your caving and rock climbing needs, something that is not found anywhere else in Laos. You could also take a day off and try organic farming, where you’re guaranteed to get a stunning view along with some delicious freshly prepared Mulberry tea. Or, you could try your hand at kayaking and tubing for a more mellow experience.

Currently, there are more high-end hotels and better infrastructure expanding Vang Vieng’s appeal even further. Tour options and hotel reservations are now available to all kinds of travelers. Eat mouthwatering Lao food from a riverside hotel while watching the picturesque sunsets over the mountains. If you’re coming as part of a tour in Laos or looking for a quick trip, let Absolute Asia Tours help you devise an ideal trip.
