Spend the day exploring this World Heritage Town by bike, this is the best way to experience local culture and slow down to the local pace of life!

 

Leave your Luang Prabang hotel by bike at 8:30am. Pedal out of town to Wat Pa Phon Phao, a forest temple famous for the teachings of Ajahn Saisamut. When he died in 1992, his funeral was the largest that Laos had seen in decades. It's Santi Chedi (Peace Pagoda) was built in 1988. After another kilometer we will arrive in Ban Phanom. This village, populated by Thai Lue (a tribe with its origins in Southern China), is well known for cotton and silk hand-weaving. Here we have the opportunity to check out how to make the traditional Lao Cotton on a weaving loom. The dirt road will bring us through teakwood plantations and wind up the Nam Khan valley. We will continue our soft bike adventure through rice paddies and dense forest before we arrive in the nicely located “Elephant Park Project” area. It is located 15 km from Luang Prabang along the Nam Khan River. This unspoiled valley is one of the most beautiful places in the area. Until recently, wild elephants and tigers roamed this valley. Here is the place to hang out and relax. Lunch will be served on the mountain view terrace or at the magnificent Tad Sae waterfalls (depending on the season). After a little time for relaxation and a coffee we will return to Luang Prabang. Arrive in Luang Prabang about 2:00pm. (lunch is included)
