Description
1-day cruise tour starting in Nong Khiao and ending in Luang Prabang. Rather than driving directly, taking an old-fashioned boat trip along the Nam Ou and Mekong Rivers, visiting a cave and village.
Rather than driving the 140km directly from Nong Khiaw to Luang Prabang, we take a day trip to Luang Prabang, doing some old-fashioned travel in Laos, taking boat cruises and detours to enjoy the beautiful scenery and local culture as much as possible.
Meet at Manifa Travel Nong Khiaw office, just off the bridge in Nong Khiaw, at 8:45 AM. Board a boat on the Nam Ou River for a misty 2-hour morning cruise to the Second Dam. A minivan awaits you at the dam's boat pier and leaves for Manifa Elephant Camp, where you will have lunch. After lunch, board your boat for a Mekong River cruise. Along the way, stop at Pak Ou, where the Nam Ou River joins the Mekong, to explore the Buddha caves on the opposite bank. Then, head down the river to Luang Prabang. After a stop at a whiskey village that produces sticky rice spirits, the sun begins to set. You will watch a beautiful sunset over the Mekong River from the boat. You will arrive in Luang Prabang just before 6 PM. We will transfer you to your hotel of choice in Luang Prabang.
Highlights
- Enjoy the scenery of the two rivers on a boat from Nong Khiaw to Luang Prabang
