Viewpoint Nong Khiaw/Ban Sop Houn Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Pha Daeng Best Viewpoint
#newyearadventure
Let me introduce to my favorite viewpoint in Laos so far - the Pha Daeng Viewpoint. The hike to the top of the mountain takes around one hour and we stayed on the top for around two hours and the view was beautiful. The best time to go is for sunrise or sunset but make sure to bring a head torch so you can see in the dark. The way up is not too difficult but you need shoes
Nong Khiaw, Luang Prabang
Nong Khiaw has recently been billed as one of the main destinations to watch in Laos. In years gone by, tourists didn’t pay much attention to this part of the country, but now it is starting to establish itself as somewhere to visit if you want to get out of the main hubs such as Vientiane and Luang Prabang.
As Nong Khiaw is located amidst gorgeous limestone mountains, this is a wonderful spot to visit if you like hiking or if you just want to check out more rural areas of Laos.
If you are planning to visit neighboring Muang Ngoi, then try to also spend a few days in Nong Khiaw on the way over, as there is a lot to see and do here, both in the town proper and in the surrounding villages.
The trek to reach the viewpoint takes 1-1h30 depending on how hot it is and your condition. The trek is pleasant, a bit of climbing but also some walking to recuperate from the stairs. We recommend to start the trek around 5:30-6 am to avoid the heat. We arrived at the viewpoint at 7, it was amazing. Really nice 360 view, with the morning clouds slowly dissipating.
Bring a lot of water and mosquito repellent.
Viewpoints and kayaking
Nong Khiaw has lately been dubbed one of Laos' top tourist spots. Tourists did not pay much attention to this section of the country in the past, but it is now establishing itself as a destination to visit if you want to go away from the big centers of Vientiane and Luang Prabang. Nong Khiaw is a great place to visit if you enjoy trekking or simply want to see more of Laos' countryside. We went for hiking today to see the viewpoint and witness the beautiful town and afterwards a bit of kayak. it was indeed a fun day!
