Whoever wants to fall in love with South East Asia is recommended to cycle along the track of the Mekong River. In this part of Asia cycling is still a real joy thanks to the natural charm and peaceful atmosphere of the countryside. Your tour starts in Chiangmai. From there we follow quiet backroads in Northern Thailand until we reach the Mekong. We continue our journey by boat to one of South East Asia’s most graceful cities, Luang Prabang in Laos. It is as if you are entering a movie scene of the 19th century. At the same time you meet the unique atmosphere of Laos where haste doesn't yet exist and people can be extremely friendly. Immediately afterwards you should prepare yourself for the strenuous part of this cycle journey where you need to go over several mountain passes. However you’re rewarded daily with superb views of the surrounding landscape. The cycle trip ends in Vientiane where you have time to relax by the Mekong River and review your two weeks of cycling pleasure.
