Khiri Travel Announces New Tours Connecting Laos and Vietnam

Khiri Travel has introduced two new tours linking Laos with Vietnam. The first is an 8 day/7 night trip that takes in the rural charms of Laos, crossing in to Vietnam at Nam Can border connecting to Ninh Binh and onwards to Hanoi. The second is a highly evocative 11 day/10 night trip following a similar route but including visits to Nam Et-Phou Louey National Protected Area, and Xam Neua, home to Laos’ revolution-era caves. The trip connects with Mai Chau and later Hanoi via the Na Meo border crossing.

Both journeys traverse iconic Indochinese mountain landscapes that played an important role in the Indochinese wars between the 1950s and 1975. Organized tour groups do not often visit the area.

Travelers can experience major highlights such as Luang Prabang and Phonsavan’s Plain of Jars. They can also participate in rare experiences such as the Nam-Nern night safari by boat which is designed to support local communities as well as protecting endangered wildlife.

Another highlight is the visit to the hidden cave city of Laos. This was where the Pathet Lao built hospitals, schools, shops and theatres in mountain caves to avoid relentless American aerial bombing during the conflict’s “secret war”. The trip also includes visits to the mysterious Plain of Jars and the Lone Buffalo community foundation in Phonsavan.

At Mai Chau in Vietnam, travelers then explore the Pu Luong Nature Reserve, taking paths through various landscapes including mountains, jungles and valleys. The ‘hidden’ local villages in the mountains belong to Tai and Hmong ethnic groups.

Trips are suitable for couples, groups and families.
