Get ready for a spicy ride on the Small Chili Mountain Biking Trip!
On this one-day mountain biking trip, you will not only ride some amazing off-the-beaten-track trails, but you will get the chance to discover a different side to Luang Prabang – a rural way of life that has been untouched in this area for centuries.
Cycling is the best way to get off the beaten path and find a unique adventure far away from the tourists in the city! On this ride, you will cycle along the banks of the Mekong, Nam Xuang, and Nam Khan Rivers, riding through jungle and villages on a mix of paved and dirt road.

Hi, I’m Nikki. I started this website in 2008 after my first solo backpacking trip to Asia. A trip that changed my life. My vision was to create a travel diary for everyone – a place for all travellers to share their experiences. After living in Southeast Asia for over 10 years, I saw the opportunity to provide backpackers with the kind of experiences that I’d treasured myself in the region.
