If you have limited time in Laos and are looking to get in touch with nature there is no better option than a visit to Vang Vieng. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This once drugged-filled drunken backpacker town has been rebranded into an adventure nature lovers’ paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though if this is your first time in Laos you may start to feel overwhelmed with transport options. There are no airports by Vang Vieng and the roads are not in the best condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not a fun experience being squished into a minivan with 12 plus other travelers, but neither is jumping on a local bus just for it to stop every couple of minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully there is now a train connecting the two, however, it is run by a Chinese Railway Company and has a few odd things you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily enough this is a journey I have done multiple times throughout the years. Laos may be relatively small but I love it and always find myself back there exploring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s get into all the details to figure out the best way to travel from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
