Overnight at hotel in Luang Nam Tha.

DAY 6: Luang Nam Tha Motorcycle Tours to Na Mor – Boun Tai. 130 km

Description: A long and exceptional riding day through a wide variety of road surfaces, none of it smooth, and we will pass only a couple of vehicles per hour at the most. The bad road conditions are not terribly difficult, but it will force us to keep our speed down to avoid frame-bending holes. This road was built by the Chinese government in the ’60s and has barely been maintained since then. Much of the day we ride through primary forest-clad mountains and we will pass several extremely primitive hilltribe villages where women still roam around topless.
 In the town of Boun Tai we will explore the remnants of an old French Legionnaire fort in a state of total disrepair.
Night: Local Hotel

We will ride through many Lao Thung villages – home of mid-land ethnic groups. Take a rare good paved road from intersection to Muang Khoua where we enter our long-tail boat.
On our 4 hours boat cruise downstream to Nong Khiaw, we see great landscapes and river sceneries and explore the natural way of life along the river banks. Most of rivers in Laos are just…rough and sitting in boat makes same feeling with riding on winding road.
Night: Local bungalow on the Nam Ou River

The entire day will be almost 230 km of which 130 km are to slalom between mid-mountain and high mountain villages on the ridges.
