Itinerary

Day 1:
The group leaves from Vientiane or Vang Vieng to the cross roads in Tha Heua. From here, a 3-hour drive along a rough road passes through scenic countryside, several small towns and two Special Zone checkpoints. A picnic lunch is followed by the preparation of the raft, safety briefing and paddle instructions. Each paddler is provided with a dry bag.

3 hours on the river take you through stretches of flat water and 3 class IV rapids passing by amazing scenery. Arrival at the camp at around 4 pm.

Day 2:
Up very early the next day, 3 hours of 3 hours of rafting take the team through eleven class 3-5 rapids before approaching the Nam Ngum Lake. This really is world class rafting: the thrill of challenging the mighty Nam Ngum amidst beautiful forests in such a remote area.

After reaching the Nam Ngum Lake, a motorboat takes you for a scenic cruise past many exotic islands - a relaxing afternoon rounds off the most exhilarating rafting trip available in Laos today.
Transport back to Vang Vieng: 40 mins., to Vientiane: 2 1/2 hours.
