This 14-day overland adventure explores the highlights of two distinct countries, from the ethnic villages, spectacular waterfalls, and bucolic "4,000 Islands" of the Mekong River in Laos to Cambodia's "floating villages" and the great temple complex of Angkor. You'll explore these wonders by riverboat, bicycle, and tuk-tuk, all the while immersing yourself in these countries' ancient and colorful cultures.
Mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, cultural sightseeing in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a homestay with a local family, and a luxurious stay in a private bungalow — all in a four-day trip? You've got it. This active getaway is short but action-packed, well-suited to travelers who want to get away from it all, breathe some fresh air, and fit in a couple of workouts along the way.
Northern Laos is topographically incredible! These higher elevations are inhabited by a variety of tribes who have never fully integrated into the modern Laos state. Flowing between these stunning mountains are wild rivers, including the iconic Mekong which at this point rushes through narrow rocky sections where Elephants occasionally can be seen on the shore. Despite the jagged mountain landscape, Northern Laos can be ridden by those who are not fond of hill climbing.

Hi Saul & Andrew,
Thanks so much for the kind words. Much appreciated. I did enjoy your photos and see you really immersed yourselves in Laos, not sure during the New Year celebrations but also in local markets and during the challenging hike.
I will also pass on your comments to the guides as I can tell they did a good job in keeping you happy and helping understand Laos better.
Looking forward to your next trip and I'm sure Kimkim will have an expert in that destination to provide another memorable journey.
Best regards,
Steve.
My trip to Chiang Mai and Laos went exactly as planned by Doris! Someone was waiting for me as I arrived in Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang, Paske, and Vientiane. All of my guides were courteous, spoke clear English, were knowledgeable, and friendly. My drivers all drove very safely in clean, well maintained vehicles. My favorites were 1) visiting the Elephant Sanctuary outside of Chiang Mai; 2) the Plain of Jars; 3) the scenic yet bumpy drive to/from the PoJ; 4) swimming & zipline at Xangvieng; 5) the many beautiful waterfalls near Paske.
An unforgettable visit!! Our guide was so knowledgeable and fun!!! We were sad to say goodbye!
