Explore the back roads of Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on this fantastic cycling tour. You will see parts of Luang Prabang only few tourists will visit. This cycling tour is easy riding, takes only half a day, and was designed to include special places that few foreigners see on their own.
Start with a visit to the morning market to explore a distinctly Lao selection of goods. Next, we’ll take a ride around the city center and peninsula, stopping to view where the Nam Khan and Mekong Rivers meet and visit the famous Wat Xieng Thong Temple. From there, we’ll wind our way through the backroads of Luang Prabang to see a special selection of city highlights and rarely visited cultural and craft-making sites for an intimate view of Laotian life. Sites include a Saa paper-making village, a traditional weaving centre, funeral pyres, and the UXO Museum.
We’ll top off the tour with a well-earned meal for lunch. Finally, we’ll make our way back to the city center to end our tour.
You can expect to be back around 1:00 p.m. (times vary depending on biking speed).
The route is about 13 km (8 mi) on paved roads, mostly flat with some low-grade hills. Guests should be comfortable riding throughout the city, crossing a wooden bridge, and riding in moderate traffic commonly found in Laos.
Please Note:
Please indicate all guest heights to ensure a well-fitted bike experience. Minimum height is 150 cm (4 feet 11 inches) unless special arrangements have been made upon making reservations.
