FAQ

Why cycle?

Of course, there are as many ways to travel as there are people, by bus, boat etc. Traveling by bus, boat or any other motorized vehicle on the main routes or in big towns you will see many attractions at the same time not being able to take a self-determinate choice of looking at them closely. At the same time there is another reality, and another way of life of local people that cannot be seen along the road or in urban centers. Biking and trekking give you an opportunity to experience Lao rural life where you can meet villagers and learn about their culture and way of life.
