Once you're geared up, we’ll set off from the heart of Luang Prabang, pedaling through the quiet morning streets toward our first destination: Wat Pa Phon Phao, a serene golden temple perched on a hilltop offering panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside.

From there, we’ll continue our journey along a scenic paved road that winds through lush teakwood forests, vibrant rice paddies, and alongside the tranquil Nam Khan River.

This peaceful site offers a moment of reflection before we ride onward through charming local villages and past jungle-covered mountains, immersing ourselves in the natural beauty and cultural richness of the region.

Here, surrounded by the serene river valley, we’ll board a boat for a short ride to the starting point of our jungle trek. The hike is gentle and enjoyable, taking us through dense tropical vegetation at the base of dramatic Karst limestone mountains, where the sounds of nature accompany every step.
