Experience the journey
Tour overview
From the heritage city to the Mekong countryside
This draft expands the homepage tour card “Mekong River & Beyond City” into a structured full-day product. The experience is positioned as a supported ride that begins in Luang Prabang, moves through the historic city and continues toward less-busy roads and riverside scenery.
A cultural ride rather than a transfer-only excursion
The final itinerary should identify the specific temples, markets, villages, ferry crossings or craft stops included, along with the verified cycling distance and terrain. It should also state whether lunch, entrance fees, bicycle, helmet, water, guide and support vehicle are included.
The homepage lists Luang Prabang, full-day duration, daily departure and a US$115 price. This draft remains unpublished until those operational details are checked.
