Vang Vieng Cycling & Caving Tour
Your adventure begins as you cross the picturesque Nam Song River via a charming bamboo bridge, setting the stage for a day filled with exploration and wonder. The first stop is the extraordinary Tham Poukham, often referred to as the Cave of the Golden Crab. Here, you will marvel at the cave's hidden corridors adorned with a stunning array of stalagmites and stalactites, underground lakes, and deep wells, all culminating in impressive chimneys that soar up to 80 meters high.
Following your cave exploration, you will mount your mountain bike for an exhilarating tour that spans approximately 26 kilometers through the stunning karst range of Nam Song and Vang Vieng. As you navigate the rugged terrain, a steep hike will lead you to the Tham Poukham Cave, where nature's artistry is on full display.
Your journey continues westward along a trail that becomes increasingly adventurous as you traverse the narrow valley of the Houay San stream. Soon, the striking Pha Deng, or Red Cliff, will come into view, providing a stunning backdrop to your ride. As you pedal onward, you will arrive in Phonxay, the first village situated along the banks of the Nam Khouang. Here, the road meanders south beside the river until you reach the crossroads in Ban Na Thong Tai, where you will connect with the road leading back to the Nam Song Bridge and ultimately return to Vang Vieng, filled with unforgettable memories of your day spent in nature's embrace.
