Why Vang Vieng
- Iconic limestone karst scenery straight out of a postcard
- River tubing is still a rite of passage, now with better safety standards
- Excellent adventure activities: kayaking, rock climbing, caving, ziplining
Set among dramatic limestone karst mountains along the Nam Song River, Vang Vieng has reinvented itself from its notorious party-tubing past into a genuine adventure destination. While tubing and bars remain, the town now equally draws travelers for kayaking, rock climbing, caving, and hot air ballooning over some of the most stunning scenery in Southeast Asia.
