Itinerary

Day 1: Luang Prabang - Arrival | Begin your cycling tour in Laos

On arrival at the Luang Prabang airport, you will be met and transferred to check in the hotel (early check-in upon availability). Situated in the center of northern Laos, Luang Prabang is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding cultural, historical, and architectural values and its harmonious relationship between the natural and built environment. There are no activities planned for today, so that you may stroll around for the first impression of this ancient city. Overnight in Luang Prabang

Tip: if you arrive early and want to get familiar with the ancient city, take a short ride around the old small streets inside the old quarter. This is a great start for your Laos cycling adventure.
