Climbing out of the Oudom Xai Valley, we are rewarded with some amazing views. Most of the villages are inhavited by the Hmong people who are distinctive in the way they dress. On arrival in Nong Khiaw, we will check in our bungalow near the riverside.

 

After breakfast we continue our trip with a very special part! By wooden sapan we will explore the greenish Ou river with it's steep surroudings of limestone cliffs. On the way we will visit thet Pac Ou caves, we will stop for lunch at a small local restaurant on the way. Further upstream,near the Pac Ou village and opposite mouth of Nam Ou River, we find the Tham Ting caves that emerge directly beside the river where literally hundreds of Buddha images cover the surrounding interior walls. The climb to the caves is quite a challenging one as there are hundreds of steps to reach them. The caves are actually on two different levels-the upper and lower caves. After exploring them we continue on toward Luang Prabang, with a short stop en route to learn about the traditional process of making local rice alcohol or whisky and weaving. We will arrive Luang Pravang before sunset.
