Adventure out with a kayaking and caving experience in Vang Vieng
Though Vang Vieng is famous for tubing along the river, there are much more to discover in this authentic destination. Start with a leisure walk through green woodland and bridges over clear rivers to local Lao villages where you can witness the daily life and culture of Lao people. Another attraction is Tham Xang or locally known as the Elephant Cave. Open to the public, the cave features a huge stalagmite resembling an elephant and a shrine with Buddha statues. Travelers can also enjoy kayaking along the Nam Song river to Phalay mountain. Paddling down the river and taking in the relaxing views of surrounding nature is a great way to enjoy a day out in Vang Vieng.
