DETAILED ITINERARY |
|
Heading out of town we ride our bike along the track past the scenic area before we arrive at Wat Pa Phon Phao, a secluded temple which is dedicated to Ajahn Saisamut teacher. The next stop is Ban Panom populated by the Thai Lue. The home production of traditional weaving makes for large incomes to villagers. We continue venturing into this area past rice paddies on the way to the Lao Spirit Resort. On arrival we see the Asian Elephants and enjoy a scenic ride of an hour and half. The elephant trail goes through jungle and rice paddies, giving us wonderful views of the river valley and the mountain landscape. We reach the Tad Sae Waterfall by late morning and have a stop for lunch and breather. Upon leaving this site we embark on a motorboat to the elephant camp and get on bike again for a ride back to the town. The trip ends on arrival in Luang Prabang. (L) |
