It has been quite a few years, many years since I did this ride from Luang Prabang to Phonsavan. It is still a ripper. Only 220 or so KM if you don’t take too many wrong turns. A long day through the winding mountain tracks and roads with some pretty long and steep climbs in places. Fellow Aussie Craig…

Amazing day riding through here. Having looked on Google Earth with Alex in Luang Prabang. Set out to see if there is a way to get through to the Nam Khan at the end of the trail. On Google Earth the two ends only have a 2 or 3 kilometre missing link to join up. I had failed the…
Trying from the south to see if I can get through to the north following the Nam Khan and over the mountains. All I can say is.. What a rough steep rocky road. At this point. I almost turned back. It just was not fun. Then looked at the GPS. OK. I am here, not that far to go…..
A lovely day loop out of Luang Prabang visiting the Khmu village After turning left at the concrete factory. It is a steep rocky and rutted climb up the mountain to the nice trails. Stop this first village. Super friendly locals. Then see this school as riding past. Almost carried on as didn’t want to disturb them. Then thought…..
Dec 2019 The last time to ride this track as Dec 2016. Not really in a hurry to come back as expected the trail to be gone with all the road works. Well. Surprise. All the road works came to nothing.. Bridges not finished, concrete pipes abandoned.. Almost as if. All the money disappeared and they stopped working 😉…
The 13N out of Vientiane is a mess to say the least. As well as a very dangerous road. Decided to take another way. Leaving Vang Vieng south on the 13N for about 20 KM turn right and it takes you to the back side of Hin Heup with out touching the 13N. But there is still a lot…
