Nong Khiaw

Nong Khiaw is a Laotian mountain town set on the Nam Ou river. Nestled in a valley under towering karst mountains, it’s the perfect stop for both adventure-seekers and those looking for some rest and relaxation. Whatever you decide to do with your time here, expect breathtaking scenery accompanied by a lively hub of guesthouses, restaurants, and bars to suit anyone’s needs. Nong Khiaw is not the undiscovered, hidden-gem destination it perhaps once was (or as some other blogs suggest), but the nature here is still unparalleled. Though we were a bit shocked by the number of tourists in such a small town, we still thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
