Travel Map

Day 1

Arrive in Laung Prabang and meet your guide and crew for a tour briefing over welcome dinner.

Day 2

The first ride of the trip, cross the Mekong to explore Hmong villages and get a taste of Northern Laos singletrack! In the afternoon, transfer out of Luang Prabang and into hill tribe country.

Day 3

A challenging ride in real hill tribe country! Taking a winding, river road, ride through tribal villages and banana plantations. A big climb is in store for the day, followed by a long descent into the town of Vieng Kham.

Begin the day with a challenging ride through the hillside farms and villages on a technical route with fantastic scenery. End the day relaxing in a laid back tribal town.

Day 5

Take a break from the bikes today for one of the highlights of the trip- a longtail boat cruise up the Nam Ou River.

One of the most challenging days of the trip, ride nearly 70 kilometers on singletrack and rough village roads through the mountainous terrain of Northern Laos.

Day 7

A dynamic ride out of the hills in Nayang down to the famous town of Nong Khiaw, followed by a refreshing boat ride and a long and steady ride on a scenic riverside trail.

SpiceRoads Cycling believes there's no better way to see the world than by bicycle. Because travel is about the journey and everything it encompasses, never just the destination. Experiencing the moment and place intensely, not chasing the next must-see sight. Discovering new things about the world, and yourself. Then returning home with experiences that remind you of what it means to be alive.

Since 1995 we've been sharing our passion for travelling by bicycle. Curating extraordinary cycle adventures in over 30 countries that give you the opportunity to get up close and personal with remarkable cultures, characters and landscapes in a way that no ordinary tour could.

We offer rides all over the world, on every type of terrain, for all ages and experience. From classic tours to epic cross-country voyages, SpiceRoads adventures are for anyone who believes what we always have…

That nothing good ever happened inside a comfort zone. That immersing yourself in different cultures teaches you things you would never learn in a textbook. That you get out of life precisely what you put in. And that travelling isn't just about seeing the world, it's about changing how you see it.
