Thakhek - Paksan

After a leisurely breakfast in Thakhek, the day begins with a relaxing 30-minute shuttle transfer to our cycling starting point. Here, we'll pick up our bikes and set off on an unforgettable ride along gravel roads that run parallel to the majestic Mekong River.


The fertile soils of this region support lush farmlands, where vibrant green rice paddies stretch as far as the eye can see. Along the route, we'll pass through charming villages, each offering a glimpse into the daily rhythms of rural Lao life. Children wave cheerfully, farmers tend to their crops, and the serene backdrop of the river accompanies us throughout the journey.


The gentle pace of the ride allows time to soak in the beauty of the countryside—whether it's the sight of water buffalo grazing lazily by the riverbanks or the distant silhouette of karst mountains on the horizon.


Our cycling adventure concludes at the peaceful village of Ban Houayhua. From here, a shuttle will take us on the final leg of our journey to Paksan, arriving in the late afternoon.


This day isn't just about covering ground—it's about immersing yourself in the tranquil landscapes, connecting with the local culture, and embracing the unhurried pace of life along the Mekong River.
