Short Hikes Around Nong Khiaw and Muang Ngoi: Amazing Vistas of Laos

Located in northern Laos some 140 kms from Luang Prabang, the little town of Nong Khiaw and the sleepy, traditional village of Muang Ngoi are now on the main tourist path. They became famous for their dramatic looking mountains and laid back countryside, and the wide range of outdoor activities offered by tour operators. But some of the attractions can easily be visited independently, such as caves and mountain-top viewpoints around both places. In this miniguide the focus is on the viewpoint hikes, since there is very little information about them, apart from the one or two everybody does. This miniguide provides the essentials about 6 hikes, through short descriptions, trail maps, elevation and distance data, and series of photos.
