Vang Vieng Travel Vacations

Nestled in a valley on the banks of the Nam Song River amid a misty jungle, Vang Vieng is a convenient stop-off point for those journeying overland between Luang Prabang and Vientiane. A tourism-oriented town in Vientiane Province, Vang Vieng is 160 km north of the capital Vientiane. The surrounding area is inhabited by the ethnic Hmong and Yao hill tribe people, and is particularly picturesque – craggy karst limestone scenery, a smattering of caves, and crystal-clear pools and waterfalls. The dramatic limestone karsts make Vang Vieng ideal for outdoor pursuits – tubing, kayaking, rock climbing, caving, and trekking and cycling to nearby caves and villages. Enjoy the town’s range of bars and restaurants, as well as visit the organic farm for a taste of the locally-produced Mulberry Tea.
