While it is possible to experience the wonders of the Phongsaly Loop in Northern Laos in just a few days, it pays to linger a little along the way. The route is one of Southeast Asia’s true epics – a riot of spectacular mountain scenery, deep river valleys and a mosaic of ethnicities steeped in tradition – and it offers up a host of possibilities along its way. These range from elephant camps and luxurious hideaways centered upon hot springs, to colorful hill-tribe markets and encounters with friendly locals. The latter is undoubtedly a standout highlight of the itinerary. Northern Laos is a melting pot of ethnicities and the mountains of the area are home to H’mong, Ikhos and many others. With unforgettable vistas and spectacular scenery along the Mekong and Nam Ou rivers to be found along the way, the Phongsaly Loop is one of the jewels in Laos’s crown.
