Discover Vang Vieng

Discover Vang Vieng

This day tour takes you to several sites in the surrounding of Vang Vieng and introduces the novice to the thrill of cave explorations.
Plenty of opportunities to gain insight into the way of life of Lao people, before ending the trip kayaking on the Nam Song River. (A shorter, half day version of this trip is available - minus kayaking)

Itinerary:

Half day program

Vang Vieng - Tham Xang - Tham Hoi - Tham Loup - Tham Nam - Vang Vieng
trekking in Vang ViengWe depart from Green Discovery Office in Vang Vieng. After 14 km transfer to the north of Vang Vieng, we visit the first cave, Tham Xang (Elephant Cave) lies on the opposite banks of the Nam Song. It is an important Buddhist temple and owes its name to a remarkable limestone formation.

The nearby Tham Hoi cave (Snail cave) winds its way deep into the mountain. One hour of exploration through numerous corridors end at a crystal clear spring. Here, swimming in the stream - in a cave lit up by candles - it is possible all the year round.

The most beautiful cave on this trip is Tham Loup (Deep cave), our next stop for cave exploration. This cave is known for its many stalagmites and stalactites.

Another cool pool of spring water lies at the mouth of Tham Nam (Water cave), also a good place for a swim. Tubing inside the cave is possible. Return to Vang Vieng

Approximately: 25 minutes transfer/ 1½ hours trekking/ 2 hour caving
