Nong Khiaw

After leaving Luang Prabang we headed to Nong Khiaw. The van ride was long and bumpy! This town is located in Northern Laos, and we thought is one of the most beautiful places in Laos. Nestled between two large rivers, the Nam Ou and Nam Thuen and surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, the town of Nong Khiaw is a sight to behold.

We stayed at a gorgeous resort - the Mandala Ou, located in a peaceful valley on the outskirts of town, for the duration of our visit. From here, we explored by bikes and foot to explore the area. We also took a trip up the iconic Nam Ou to visit the remote village of Ngoi.

We enjoyed our time in Nong Khiaw, and will remember the beautiful river scenes and the warm people.Read more
