This exceptional adventure will take you through the dramatic, tribal, mountainous area of Northern Vietnam, near the China border, before descending to the ancient Royal city and World Heritage site of Luang Prabang.

Northern Laos especially presents many great trekking opportunities. Not only is the terrain very mountainous and largely swathed in forest, it is also home to a dazzling array of highly colourful minority tribal people who still pursue the traditional slash and burn (swidden) farming methods, unchanged for a thousand years.

A challenging journey through the remote hills of northern Thailand and Laos. Starting in the bustling and energetic Chiang Mai, cycle dirt tracks north to Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle before heading into Laos and down the mighty Mekong River to Luang Prabang. Traveling by boat as well as bicycle, this tour gives you a unique glimpse into rural Thailand and Laos.

This 14 day journey through Laos is ideal for the individual, adventurous traveller who is looking for a small group of like minded people to join. The Big Lao Adventure involves many nature activities including kayaking, trekking into the high country of the hilltribe people, riding elephants, caving, mountain biking, waterfalls and discovering the way of life of the Lao people along the majestic Mekong River in Luang Prabang.
