Biking 10 days/ 9 nights, from Hanoi to Luang Prabang

Biking Hanoi to Luang Prabang. It is a city located in north central Laos, on the Mekong River about 425 km north of Vietnam. The city was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. Until the communist takeover in 1975, it was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos. As the sky grows light along the Mekong River here, it is no longer the quiet footfalls of Buddhist monks that herald the day but the jostling and chattering of hundreds of tourists who have come to watch them on their morning rounds.
