Description | This 9 day journey takes riders deep into the heart of hilltribe country on a rugged and wild ride filled with raw adventure. Climb into the hills, through thick jungle pathways, isolated mountainsides, and remote river valleys on a journey that's as rewarding as it is challenging. Meet curious locals who have never met a foreigner- certainly not a mountain biker!- and take in virgin views of some of Southeast Asia's most impressive scenery by day, and a pure, starry sky by night. This is pure trail adventure, waiting for you in Laos. |
