Day 1)Luang Prabang to Xayabury.160 Kilometers 4-5 Hrs. riding.

Overnight in a Local guest house.
Day 2) Xayabury to Paklai. 160 Kilometers 6-7 Hrs riding.

Another day of off-road trails as we head for the delights of Muang Fuang, which has risen in popularity of late, it’s a stunning area, and the trail to get here won’t disappoint either. we will overnight in a local guest house by the river.
Day 4) Muang Fuang to Vang Vieng. 120 Kilometers 5-6 Hrs riding. Today we’ll take a shorter day although the trail to get here is not an easy one, so we’ll see how the day goes.
