Highlights
1
Nong Khiaw
Surrounded by stunning limestone peaks and straddling the Nam Ou, idyllic
Nong Khiaw is the perfect place to lose a few days.
2
Boat trips on the Nam Ou
The spectacularly scenic stretch of the river between Nong
Khiaw and Muang Khoua is flanked by jagged karst and (for now) remains undisturbed by
Chinese dam projects.
3
Trekking around Phongsali
This quietly charming town is the perfect base for exploring
the vast tropical forests and diverse traditional cultures of Laos's remote northernmost
province.
4
Muang La
With hot springs, a historic temple and a gorgeous setting, serene Muang La is
an ideal day-trip from Oudomxai.
