Laos can be compared to Thailand 30 years ago. Through their mode of transport cycle tourists can discover every nook & cranny and experience a kind of time travel.

 

What is Laos about?

 

• A nation that has seen very little development and kept its traditions

• Temples, friendly children and a deeply ingrained Buddhist culture

• Amazing landscapes shaped by mountains, plains and the Mekong river

 

What might surprise you:

 

• The life style, a very laid back atmosphere

• A country with simple, friendly and innocent people

 

The pros for a cycle tourist:

 

• Many regions are untouched

• The most exotic feeling you possibly can get in South East Asia

• Still low traffic in the Northern and very Southern part of the country

 

The challenges:

 

• The climate and heat

• Poor medical facilities

• Low hygiene standards

• Limited accommodation in remote areas

• Large mountains in the northern part

 

Who would like Laos:

 

• All those who look for real adventure & authenticity

• People who like challenges
