Day 01: Arrival – Luang Prabang (-/ -/ -)

---

After a short rest from your flight, we begin cycling to some of the major sights in this faboulous city, including the impressive stupa of Wat Visoun, the shrine of Wat Aham and the city’s oldest temple of Wat Sene, as well as the magnificent Wat Xiengthong. A visit to Luang Prabang would be incomplete without ascending 329 steps to the top of Mount Phousi for an enjoyable exploration of the sacred, gilded stupa and to enjoy a beautiful sunset view of the city and its glowing reflection on the Mekong River. From there we experience the hustle and bustle of the colourful Night Market. Overnight in Luang Prabang

Enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the waterfall on a Sala terrace, and then continue our boat trip downstream to retrace the tomb of the French explorer Henri Mouhot.  Your bike will be ready at the local pier near Ban Phanom for our journey back to Luang Prabang by an alternative route back to Luang Prabang
