Tips from the community
The Pha Ngeun trail is the best hiking spot around, taking you up to a series of viewpoints at the highest point around Vang Vieng. Hike this trail in the early morning before the heat sets in and you’ll be rewarded with both a smaller crowd and jaw-dropping views, with a few hot air balloons thrown in for the Insta feed.
Pro tip: It’s a tough hike, with an elevation gain of around 450 meters to get to the top viewpoint, and some steep inclines. The trickiest spots have a bamboo railing to help you navigate them. The trail is marked well enough that you can do it solo, but it’s always safer to travel with a partner. If you’re not an experienced hiker, I recommend going with one of the many tour groups.
