The trip to Vang Vieng begins as we depart Vientiane and drive along one of the most scenic routes in the whole of Asia to Vang Vieng which is located on a bend in the Nam Song River. This small and tranquil town is rapidly developped with the advent of tourist, but the beautiful scenery with a mixture of quiet water and limestone outcrops is unchanged for century.
On arrival at Vang Vieng, we cross the river and walk through the breathtaking mountain landscape to visit some hill villages and caves. The most famous of these caves, Tham Jang, was used by local people around 200 years as a hideout from Chinese invaders. The trip ends after arrival in Vientiane.
