Wheels & Yoga | Bucket List of Laos

Imagine waking up to the cool, misty air of the Laotian mountains, greeted by the soft light of dawn and the sound of the waking rainforest. You step outside to view the rolling hills of the jungle stretching as far as the eye can see. The sky slowly brightens as you watch the sunrise, a golden glow spilling over the lush landscape. Make your way to an open-air yoga session overlooking the vast and picturesque landscape.

You are guided through a meditation and energizing yoga sequence, grounding you in the present moment. Your body flows, stretches, strengthens, and lengthens amidst the sounds of nature. The day is just about to begin, filled with the discovery of simplicity and rejuvenation. As the serene landscapes unfold, the rhythm of cycling complements the rhythm of your breath, creating a harmonious union of movement and mindfulness. The gentle pedalling along picturesque trails allows for a deep connection with the lush surroundings, where verdant jungles, tranquil rivers, and ancient temples weave a tapestry of natural and cultural beauty.

Intertwining meditation and yoga into this expedition enhances the experience. Amidst the serenity of Laos, these practices foster introspection and mental clarity. Meditation amidst stunning vistas cultivates present-moment awareness, while yoga poses amidst nature's grandeur nurture physical vitality and balance. The peaceful ambiance of Laos, with its tranquil villages and friendly locals, provides an ideal backdrop for reflection and self-awareness.

The route is a gentle, entry-level experience for all riders and allows you to discover Laos at its best, at the perfect pace. The dramatic karst backdrop of Oudomxay province provides the canvas for a truly memorable ride. We have packed so many experiences that your call for wonder and adventure will happily echo while drifting along the mighty Mekong or zigzagging downhill, surrounded on either side by pristine forest.

Nong Khiaw is a delight with quiet riverside bars and restaurants, as well as unique trails and paths to rural communities untouched by tourism.
