Understanding Laos

Laos is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia located between 14° and 23°N, and longitudes 100° and 108°E. The country shares its borders with Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, and China. Vientiane is its capital and largest city.

Most of Laos is mountainous and unsuitable for human habitation. As a result, the majority of its 7.5 million inhabitants live along the Mekong river that flows through its western border with Thailand.

Only 4% of the total land in Laos is arable, and the country is less prosperous than its Southeast Asian neighbors.

What Makes Laos Unique for Cycling?

Laos is one of the most densely forested countries in the world. With almost 72% of its total land area under forests, Laos has more forest cover than any other country in Southeast Asia. By comparison, Vietnam has about 47% forest cover, Cambodia 51.56%, Thailand 31.68%, and Myanmar 63.64%.

Laos is also extraordinarily mountainous, with only 10% of the country located below 600 ft.

With a population density of only 33 persons per square km, Laos is also the least densely populated country in Southeast Asia. By comparison, neighboring Vietnam has a population density of 319 persons per square km, making it almost 10 times as crowded as Laos.

Laos has a relaxed and laid back culture. So much so that the country’s official name — Laos PDR — which stands for Laos People’s Democratic Republic, is jokingly referred to as Laos People Don’t Rush.

This combination of dense forests, high mountains, sparse population, and a laid back culture makes Laos stand out from every other country in Southeast Asia for cycling.

What are the Best Places to Cycle in Laos?

Laos offers a wide range of cycling experiences, from serene rides along the Mekong River to challenging mountainous terrain. Here are some of the best regions to cycle in Laos:

• Northern Laos

Northern Laos is known for its beautiful mountains and dense forests. It is home to the highest mountain in Laos, Phou Bia (2820m) as well two out the three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Laos. Towns like Nong Khiaw and Muang Khua are popular points for northern cycling adventures. More specifically, a northern Laos cycling trip should include the following destinations:

Luang Prabang : Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage site noted for its medieval Buddhist temples, dating back to the 16th century, which blends in seamlessly with 18th and 19th century French colonial architecture. The city serves as a starting place for biking in Northern Laos and is a visual spectacle, being located at the confluence of the Mekong and Khan rivers, with the mountains of northern Laos surrounding it on three sides. Explore the historic town, visit ancient temples, and cycle along the banks of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers. The nearby countryside features lush landscapes and traditional villages.

Luang Namtha : Located close to Laos’ northern border with China, Luang Namtha is a popular destination for biking and hiking trips into the surrounding countryside. The terrain is relatively flat, while mountains loom in the distance. Visitors get to ride through villages inhabited by eight of Laos’ several ethnic groups, including the Hmong and Lanten people. At each village, visitors can experience at close quarters the traditional handicrafts of the village tribe, such as embroidery, basket making, cotton weaving, bamboo papermaking, etc. The scenic Nam Dee waterfall is another attraction.

• Southern Laos

Vat Phou and Si Phan Don Islands : The Vat Phou temple complex was built between the 10th-14th centuries by Hindu kings of the Khmer empire. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site that rivals the Angkor Vat temples of Cambodia. Located some 143 kms to the south of Vat Phou are the Si Phan Don Islands, a group of 4,000 scenic islands within the Mekong river provides a peaceful and picturesque setting for cycling. The terrain is relatively flat, making it suitable for cyclists of all levels.

Bolaven Plateau : The Bolaven Plateau is an elevated region rising 1000 to 1500m above the sea level. It is known for its numerous waterfalls, lush greenery and numerous coffee plantations. Coffee was introduced to the region by French colonialists in the early 20th century, and today it produces high quality Arabica and Robusta coffee. Cycling in this region allows you to ride through serene countryside, dense forests, and past numerous waterfalls. The rolling hills provide a moderate challenge.

What are the Best Cycling Routes in Laos?

Northern Laos to Vientiane : This is a classic northern Laos loop that starts from Luang Prabang before heading north east to the picturesque town of Nong Khiaw and then heading to Vientiane. Nestled between two mountains with the Nam Ou river flowing between, Nong Khiaw is a paradise for trekkers and mountain bikers. The route then heads south west to Oudomxay which offers a range of adventure activities such as zip lining and abseiling, before returning to Luang Prabang.

Luang Prabang to Vientiane : This is a classic Laos cycling route that covers the three most visited destinations in Laos — Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng, and Vientiane. Starting from Luang Prabang in the north, the scenic routes takes a riders through Laos’ hallmark limestone karsts, rice paddies, a blue lagoon at Vang Vieng, the Nam Ngun lake, and all the way down to the banks of the majestic Mekong river at Vientiane.

Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang : This route starts from Chiang Mai in northern Thailand and ends up in Luang Prabang in northern Laos after taking a north-easterly course. The crossing from Thailand to Laos is made on a boat across the Mekong river in the Chiang Rai province of Thailand.

Hanoi to Luang Prabang : This cycling route starts from Hanoi in Vietnam and moves westward to Luang Prabang in Laos. The landscape consists of mountains, rice paddies, and tea plantations. The crossing from Vietnam to Laos is made at the historic town of Dien Bien Phu.

When is the Best Time to Cycle in Laos?

The best time for cycling in Laos is between October to March. The average temperature hovers between 25-28 °C with plenty of sunshine. From June to September, the rainy season sets in, making cycling difficult. Here are some general guidelines for the best times to cycle in Laos:

• Best Season: October to March
• This is considered the best time for cycling in Laos.
• The weather is relatively cool and dry, making it comfortable for cycling.
• Daytime temperatures are milder, and you'll experience less rainfall.
• This season is ideal for exploring most regions of Laos, including the lowlands, Luang Prabang, Vientiane, and the Mekong River areas.
• Shoulder Season: April to May
• While it can be hot and dry, especially in the lowland areas, it's still possible to cycle.
• Early mornings and late afternoons are the most comfortable times to ride during this season.
• Be prepared for high temperatures and potentially scorching sun.
• This season is suitable for regions like the Bolaven Plateau and the 4000 Islands, which provide cooler microclimates.
• Off-Season: June to September
• The rainy season can vary in intensity, with heavier rains from July to September.
• While cycling is still possible in some areas, particularly in the northern and central regions, you should be prepared for wet conditions and occasional flooding.
• Trails and roads may become muddy and slippery, so mountain biking or off-road cycling may be more suitable during this season.
• It's advisable to avoid areas prone to flooding and landslides during heavy rains.

Enjoying Laotian Cuisine

Laotian cuisine is centered around the consumption of sticky rice, which is an inseparable part of the everyday life of the people of Laos. In fact, Laos has the highest per capita consumption of sticky rice in the world. Expect most items on the local menu to come with a generous serving of sticky rice, then.

Some essential Laotian dishes to try on your visit include:

Larb : Larb (also called laab or laap) is so popular in Laos that it is sometimes called the national dish of Laos. It is made by cooking meat with sticky rice and herbs. The meat used varies by geography, but most commonly Larb is prepared using either fish, pork, or beef.

Nam Tok : The word Nam Tok literally translates to “waterfall”, and that is what this dish resembles the most. A meat salad dripping with juice, Nam Tok, like Lab, can be prepared using different kinds of meats. However, unlike Lab, it is always soupy. Added dressing includes ground roasted rice, fish sauce, shallots, and mint. It is eaten, as with everything else in Laos, with sticky rice.

Green Papaya Salad : Also known as Tam Som, green papaya salad is made by slicing unripe papaya into thin slices, then mixing it with ground chili, fish sauce, and palm sugar, all of which are pounded in a mortar before being mixed with papaya.

Beerlao : Beerlao is the name under which beer prepared by the Lao Brewery Company (LBC) is cold in Laos. Since LBC has a nearly 99% share of the liquor market in Laos, this is the most common form of liquor available in Laos. Beerlao is today exported to several countries including the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.

Lao lao : Lao lao is the traditional rice-based whiskey popular in the Laotian countryside. Like all things Lao, it is prepared by fermenting sticky rice, and is often consumed communally from large earthenware pots.

Laos Visa Requirements

A Laos eVisa is required for entry at any of the nation’s international ports of entry. These include the border crossings from Thailand and Vietnam. Laos has three international airports — at Vientiane, Luang Prabang, and Champasak respectively.

Visitors can apply for a Laos eVisa on the government’s official visa application portal . They will need to upload copies of the following documents:

• Passport cover page
• Passport bio page
• A photograph of the applicant measuring 4x6cm

Visa processing time is usually three business days.

If you plan to enter Thailand or Vietnam from Laos, you will need to apply separately for visas to these countries. Refer to our detailed Thailand and Vietnam cycling guides for the visa application requirements for these countries.

Other important things to note about the Laos eVisa:

• Laos only offers single-entry visas for tourists
• The Laos eVisa is valid only for 60 days from the date of issue, and the stay period is 30 days
• The arrival date should be no more than 60 days from the date of applying
• Visitors should carry a printed copy of their eVisa at the time of entering Laos.

Vaccines and Medicines

The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends travelers to Laos get routine vaccinations for the following:

• Chicken pox
• Measles-mumps-rubella
• Hepatitis A and B

Additionally, it is recommended to have rabies vaccination before traveling to Laos as stray dogs and monkeys are fairly common. Malaria is a risk in southern Laos, especially the Champasak province, and in riverine areas. If you are visiting Laos in August-September, make sure to take preventive measures against dengue.

The Laotian Kip (LKP) is the official currency of Laos. As of Oct 2023, 1 USD = 20,661 LKP. The USD is accepted at several commercial establishments. However, it is advisable to carry some local currency with you as well. The USD can be exchanged for LKP at airports, border crossings, and designated money exchanges.

Most ATMs will dispense LKP.

Additionally, if you are carrying USD 2500 or its equivalent in a foreign currency into Laos, you must declare the same at the port of entry.

Major Laotian cities such as Vientiane, Luang Prabang, and Pakse are connected by air. Buses and trains are cheap options for intercity travel. However, they may not be very comfortable.

The Lao-China bullet train is a good option for tourists looking for a premium intercity travel option. The train starts from the capital Vientiane and heads north to the city of Boten on the border with China. Along the way, it passes through the major tourist destinations of Vang Vieng, Luang Prabang, Oudomxay, and Luang Namtha. From Boten, the train enters the Yunnan province of China and goes all the way to Kunming.

For commuting within cities, tuk-tuks are convenient. Tourists can also rent motorbikes for commuting within major cities.

Lao or Laotian is the official language of Laos. English is understood in most tourist centers. Due to its colonial past, French is also spoken and understood by a segment of the population. Signboards in most places are usually in both Laotian and either English or French.

Culture and Religion

Buddhism is the largest religion in Laos with 66% of the population identifying as Buddhists. Tai folk religion consisting of animistic beliefs is the second most popular belief system in Laos.

Laos is officially a communist state, one of the last remaining communist republics in the world today. It follows a one-party political system, and is closely allied to China on the international stage.

Soccer is the most popular sport in Laos. Also popular are traditional martial arts such as Muay Lao, that are similar to kickboxing and Muay Thai.

Appliances and Devices

Electricity in Laos is supplied at 230V and 50 Hz. This is the same voltage that is used by most countries in the world except those in North America and Japan.

Make sure to check the back of your device to check if it is compatible with the local voltage supply. If not, you might need a voltage converter.

Hotels in Laos have the two-pin power plug sockets of Type A,C, E, F and the three-pin Type B. These sockets are used in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam as well.

If your device does not plug into any of these sockets, you might need a travel adapter.

Mobile Coverage

Laos has good mobile network coverage at 4G speeds in its cities. The remote mountainous areas, however, may not have good coverage.

Lao Telecom and Unitel are the largest mobile carriers in Laos. Visitors can make international calls from Laos and access mobile internet as long as their international roaming is activated. For longer stays, buying a local SIM card is advised.

Laos follows the GMT+7 time zone, also known as the Indochina time zone. This timezone is also followed by Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

What You May Find

Waterfalls, Buddha statues, Buddhist monks, rice paddies.

Ineos are also sending their time trial ace Filippo Ganna but he won't be challenging for the overall just working in a support role for Thomas to help him fend of the challenge from the likes of Romain Bardet (Team DSM Firmenich-PostNL), Lennard Kämna (Bora-hansgrohe) and Hugh Carthy (EF Education-EasyPost).

Tour of the Alps 2024 stages

The 709 kilometre race starts in Neumarkt/Egna with a 133km stage that features three moderate climbs, firstly the ascent of Andalo followed by two ascents of the smaller and steeper 4.3 km Penone climb on the finishing circuit. 

Stage two sees the race leave Salurn/Salorno in Italy and cross over into Austria to finish in Stans. The first half of the stage is predominantly all uphill and the second half all downhill, although punctuated by a couple of nasty little ramps which could provide a launch pad for attacks. 

Set in Austria stage three is just 124.8 kilometres long with the majority of it rolling until the finale which features twin ascents of the Weerberg and Pillberg climbs. Both are very steep with gradients in the mid teens which will encourage those riders who like punchy short climbs to try and break free and take the stage. 

Back in Italy stage four is the Queen stage and boasts multiple climbs including the two first category ascents of the Passo del Compet and Passo del Vetriolo. This is the day the GC contenders will have to show what they are made of and use their superior climbing power if they want to win overall.

The race wraps up with another killer stage of climbing and another first category ascent, the Palù del Fersina which will be ridden twice to give fans two glances of their heroes. At 118 kilometres it is another very short stage but is a worthy stage to decide the winner of the 2024 race. 

Stage 1 | Monday April 15 , Egna - Cortina sulla Strada del Vino.  133.3km.

Stage 2 | Tuesday April 16, Salorno - Stans. 189.1km.

Stage 3 | Wednesday April 17, Schwaz - Schwaz. 127km.

Stage 4 | Thursday April 18, Laives - Borgo Valsugana. 141.3km.

Stage 5 | Friday April 19, Levico Terme - Levico Terme. 118.6km.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling  100 Greatest Cycling Climbs , followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes,  RIDE BRITAIN . Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running  his 100 Climbs brand  and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.

Lenny Martinez outsprints Clément Berthet to win Tour du Doubs

Second victory for French rider and third Groupama-FDJ in three days

Lenny Martinez outkicked Clément Berthet (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) in a two-man sprint to win the Tour du Doubs, taking his second victory in three days following his win at Classic Grand Besançon Doubs on Friday. The French rider claimed the third win in three days for his Groupama-FDJ squad.

Crossing the line eight seconds, José Manuel Diaz (Burgos-BH) was third.

Diaz ignited the fireworks on the bottom of the final steep climb of Larmont with a solo attack. Martinez, Berthet and a few more riders gave chase to finally connect with the Spaniard inside of three kilometres to go, forming a group of around 10 riders including last year’s winner Jesus Herrada and his Cofidis teammate Guillaume Martin.

Martinez countered Berthet's attack and the two dropped the other two riders with less than 2km to go. The two riders worked together on the final dash to the line until Berthet could not answer’s Martinez acceleration in the final 150 metres.

“We made it three out of three this weekend and I’m so proud of the team. We really did a great job,” Martinez told France3. His teammate David Gaudu won the Tour du Jura on Saturday.

“I think that with Clément, we were perhaps the two strongest. We escaped several times together I think and once it was the right one and I told him that we should work together. And then there you go, Afterwards, in the sprint, I didn't know what we were going to do. But at least we were going to do one and two and it was important to collaborate.”

Once again a major crash forced the neutralization of Tour du Doubs, 40km into the race so that medical personnel could attend to three injured riders from the Kern Pharma team. After some 50 minutes, the race was re-started with the climb of Belleherbe removed from the route.

A breakaway of 12 riders formed soon after and established a maximum gap of 3:50 before the final escapees were reeled in by a thinned-out field charging up the Larmont.

“Honestly, I really didn't feel good the whole race. The race was neutralized, so there was a little break in the race. It's not really easy to get going again and my legs weren't responding too well, there were attacks from everywhere. It was a bit of chaos in this race and in the end, in the last bump, I was getting better and better, the closer we got to the line. So there you have it, I'm very happy to get the victory.”

Amstel Gold Race 2024: Tom Pidcock claims victory after Marianne Vos takes women's race

Tom Pidcock made his third step on the podium at the Amstel Gold Race a winning one on Sunday (14 April).

Having been a narrow second in 2021 and third last year, the defending mountain bike Olympic champion won a sprint finish from a four-man breakaway to secure his third road cycling Classic victory.

Marc Hirschi was second with Tiesj Benoot in third place.

After his triumphs in the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix on the last two weekends, Mathieu van der Poel finished in the peloton which was unable to haul in the leaders.

Earlier, Marianne Vos won a bunch sprint to claim her second women's race triumph having been victorious previously in 2021.

The 36-year-old star edged out fellow Dutchwoman Lorena Wiebes - who had her hands raised prematurely in celebration - to take an event shortened due to a crash involving a police motorcycle.

• Tom Pidcock lauded as potential world’s best, but in which discipline will he shine brightest?

Tom Pidcock times sprint to perfection

Three riders - Mikkel Honoré , Louis Vervaeke and Paul Lapeira - broke clear of the peloton just inside the last 60km.

Vervaeke was dropped on the Eyserbosweg climb 35km from the finish, and 10 riders - including Pidcock, Hirschi and Bauke Mollema - bridged the gap to make it a lead group of 12.

They extended their lead over the pack to 40 seconds ahead of the second ascent of the famous Cauberg with Honoré unable to live with the pace at the front.

With just over 10km to go, Pidcock, Hirschi, Mauri Vansevenant and Benoot formed a smaller breakaway group and established a 10-second gap at the front with just one climb, the Bemelerberg, to come.

Six kilometres from home, Pidcock launched an attack but could not shake off the other three with Vansevenant looking in danger of losing contact. Lapeira's effort to try and make it a five-man breakaway proved in vain with the podium places coming from the lead four.

Five riders almost bridged the gap as the front four sized each other up in the last few hundred metres, but then the racing began in earnest.

Vansevenant was forced to lead out before fading, and it was Pidcock who had the strength to take a narrow win from Hirschi with Benoot in third.
