Good to know
Believe it or not, this city was once known for being the party city, simply because of the famous “Tubing” excursion down the river, while intoxicated that is but now this city has completely changed for the better. The nature of this area is simply uncanny and the amount of outdoor activities that can be done here are out of this world. The most amazing things you’ll see in Van Vieng are the natural caves, waterfalls and lagoons, make sure not to miss any of those. If you have the time and are quite brave, go on a hot air balloon ride see the city from above. We currently offer reliable connections to cities like Vientiane or Luang Prabang.
