A great, eco friendly way to get around Lao is by bicycle. With a population of only about 6 million people, Laos has less traffic outside the main cities and biking around the country’s green hills is gaining popularity. If you plan on a longer trip, it is best to bring your own bike. For shorter trips, you can hire miid-range mountain bikes from tour companies and guest houses. Some popular bike tours are found in Luang Namtha, Vang Vieng (Vientiane Province), and Luang Prabang.
