GET READY FOR A SPICY RIDE!
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, the 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 outside of 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.
Luang Prabang, 1-Day Bike Trip – Day Itinerary
We will meet in the early morning to equip you with one of our quality mountain bikes. Choose your perfect riding partner for the day and of course, a helmet. We will then begin our journey out of town heading north along the Mekong River.
After crossing the old communist bridge in Luang Prabang, we will make a stop to visit Xieng Lek Village, which is famous for its mulberry paper and weaving.
After leaving the village, we will ride alongside the Nam Xuang River, passing through more small villages and beautiful countryside scenery. Soon after, the pavement comes to an end and we continue off-road into the countryside on a dirt trail which undulates up and down, passing by rice paddies and local villages.
We will stop for lunch and then continue our ride through vast rice paddies and jungles dotted with Lao Loum, Hmong, and Khmu tribal villages. Here, you will see locals tending to the daily activities of agrarian life. The last leg of today’s ride will take us along the beautiful Nam Khan River back towards Luang Prabang.
Before entering the city, we will make on last stop at the stunning Wat Phon Phao Temple with its huge golden stupa and an incredible view overlooking the whole of Luang Prabang. We descend into the city and return to the Tiger Trail Bike Shop to finish a spectacular day of varied bike riding!

- In order to book this experience, you will need to pay a refundable deposit.
- The deposit remains in a ‘pending state’ – i.e. will not be taken out of your bank account until you hear from the organiser and have confirmed that there is availability and that they can meet all of your requirements.
- If you are unable to agree on a date or the organiser cannot meet your requirements, your deposit is automatically returned to you in full.
- Once you have agreed on a date and you are happy to go ahead with the trip/retreat/course as planned, your deposit will be accepted.

- The rest of the payment for the experience is payable to the organiser, either upon arrival at the destination or before in some cases, if the organiser requires it. The organiser will arrange this with you.
- The refund of the second payment, which goes directly to the trip organiser, is based on their own Terms and Conditions, and we have no control over this.
