Discover Laos and Vietnam on an Unforgettable 15-Day Bicycle Tour

Nestled in the heart of Southeast Asia, Laos is a landlocked country bordered by Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, China, and Vietnam. The mighty Mekong River, running the length of the country, plays a crucial role in Laos’ culture and economy, providing fertile farmland, irrigation, and abundant fishing. With a population of just 6 million people, Laos is a land of contrasts, from modern towns and rural villages to the isolated ethnic mountain tribes that preserve ancient traditions.

Deeply rooted in Buddhist culture, Laos offers an immersive spiritual experience. Across the country, glimmering temples, pagodas, and stupas stand against the backdrop of misty mountains, while the daily morning alms-giving ceremony fills the streets with saffron-robed monks collecting offerings.

The Pathet Lao, the communist revolutionary forces of Laos, used these caves extensively as their headquarters during the war. The caves—both natural and man-made—were developed into a “hidden city” that sheltered over 20,000 people. Among the most notable caves are Khayson Cave, the office and residence of the Pathet Lao chief, and Souphanouvong Cave (also known as Red Prince Cave), the residence of Prince Souphanouvong, a key figure in the Pathet Lao movement.

The caves played a crucial role during the Second Indochina War, as they provided shelter and support to communist officers who endured nine years of constant bombing. Within these caves, the Pathet Lao established critical infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, markets, government ministries, and even a radio station, all hidden from the enemy.
