Outdoor Adventures
Dense jungles, brooding mountains, endless waterways, towering
cliffs and hairpin bends: the potential for adrenalin-fuelled adventures
is limitless in the Mekong region. Just travelling here is one long ad-
venture, but these experiences will take it to another level. The dry
season (November to May in most of the region) is the best time to
visit. Trekking in the wet season can be difficult, but swollen rivers
make for great kayaking and rafting.
