      Description: It is hard to say farewell to this part of riding along the Mekong. Wake up early if you do not want to miss the sunrise on the river. Enjoy this part until we head Xieng Kok. On this peaceful stretch of road, the biggest hazards you are likely to see on the road are the cows and chickens who roam freely around the area!

      We will drive through the beautiful rain forest to Luang Namtha. Along the way, we will have a chance to visit local hill-tribe villages of Akha, Hmong, Tai Dam, Lu people. Our lunch will be prepared for road-stop with some local traditional stuffs: sticky rice & dried beef.

      Day 6: Luang Nam Tha Motorcycle Tours To Na Mor โ€“ Boun Tai. 130 Km

      Description: A long and exceptional riding day through a wide variety of road surfaces, none of it smooth, and we will pass only a couple of vehicles per hour at the most. The bad road conditions are not terribly difficult, but it will force us to keep our speed down to avoid frame-bending holes. This road was built by the Chinese government in the โ€™60s and has barely been maintained since then. Much of the day we ride through primary forest-clad mountains and we will pass several extremely primitive hill tribe villages where women still roam around topless.

      In the town of Boun Tai, we will explore the remnants of an old French Legionnaire fort in a state of total disrepair.

      Description: That is interesting to see the market in the morning in Boun Tai. There are of goods coming up to the local trading square in the town center. Today is an easy day, as we have 70 km on bumpy roadโ€ฆonly. We will ride through many Lao Thung villages โ€“ home of mid-land ethnic groups. Take a rare good paved road from intersection to Muang Khua where we enter our long-tail boat.


      On our 4 hours boat cruise downstream to Nong Khiaw we see great landscapes and river sceneries and explore the natural way of life along the river banks. Most of rivers in Laos are justโ€ฆrough and sitting in boat makes same feeling with riding on winding road.

      Looking forward meets two different hill-tribe, Khamu, and Hmong people. The Khamu live in mid-mountain while the Hmong live in isolated mountain really far from the world that we know. The entire day will be almost 230 km of which 130 km are to slalom between mid-mountain and high mountain villages on the ridges. The finish line is finally the World Heritage town of Luang Prabang where a well-deserved beer Lao will wait for us in town!

      "This trip has been studied to mix up motorbiking with Lao culture, waterfalls, elephant interactions & more. Accommodations will range from simple guest-houses & good wooden bungalows to nice hotels. All tours are created and organized at their most qualitative levels but personalization is of course possible such as changing hotel standards or modifying the activity list.
