We leave Luang Prabang in the morning, first visiting Ban Xang Khong village on the Mekong River just north of the peninsula. We will then load the bicycles into the car and drive 20 km north (to avoid the hustle and bustle of the national highway). We will again ride our bicycles to Ban Xang Hai village. There you can see the unique distillation process of Lao Lao whisky. We will continue to the Ou River, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the Mekong River. We will visit the village and learn about the life of the local rice paddies and free range buffalo. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch on the sandy beach on the riverbank.
