Mountains Around Vang Vieng By Motorbike

---

To begin heading to southern Laos I had to go back through Vang Vieng and Vientiane. I decided to stop off in Vang Vieng to take a motorbike trip through the region. The town of Vang Vieng is like a backpacker's ghetto, but the area around is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I set out early in the morning and rode 80 km north through amazing karst scenery. Once you get 5 minutes outside the town, it becomes a very traditional Laos setting. The rainy season had just begun and I almost turned back as the rain intensified, but thankfully I kept on. The rain let up and the ride was one of the best days I have had so far. Words can't do justice to the scenery.
