A Motorcycle Tour in Laos

Are you longing for an Asia motorcycle tour? A beautiful and enigmatic country in Southeast Asia, Laos is a fascinating - and often overlooked - road trip destination. Laos is an enchanting amalgamation of Buddhist heritage, wild and preserved nature and a warm population. Embark on a Laos motorcycle tour to unlock the secrets of one of the most endearing countries in Asia.

Laos is one of the few countries in Southeast Asia to be spared from mass tourism. Nestled between China, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma and Cambodia, this landlocked territory has maintained its own charming identity away from the influences of the world. Here, life unfolds to the rhythm of the rooster crowing and the waves of the Mekong River. Rice fields cling to rolling verdant hills and bamboo houses sit on stilts in the middle of sprawling jungles. During a motorbike tour in Laos you will discover the wild, unspoiled landscapes of the Land of a Million Elephants. A land of splendid roads and ridgeline trails, dancing through misty mountains in complete serenity. To explore Laos by motorcycle is to experience a sparsely populated nation which has preserved its culture and values through countless generations, despite the trials of its history.

LAOS MOTORBIKE TOURS: AUTHENTIC DESTINATION

Less touristy than Thailand, Laos is a country that deserves to be known and celebrated. Travelling by motorbike in Laos is a different way of experiencing the land and immersing yourself in the culture and traditions. The mountain roads and secret trails that wind through wild countryside will delight riders looking for extraordinary road trips. Experience a unique adventure aboard a Royal Enfield with our motorcycle tours in Laos.

ENJOY A MOTORCYCLE TOUR IN LAOS

Do you dream of discovering Buddhist traditions and wild nature in Asia? Whether you are a budding adventurer or ardent explorer, our experienced local guides are ready to show you the way. Enjoy a 12 day Laos motorbike tour designed to facilitate discovery, adventure and friendly encounters with local residents.

Your Laos motorcycle tour begins in Chiang Mai, Thailand. You will journey to the distant reaches of northern Thailand before crossing the Mekong River to reach Laos, the Land of a Million Elephants.

On the itinerary: discover Buddhist traditions in Luang Prabang, immerse yourself in rural life and lush nature in Nong Khiaw, meet with the elephants at the Sayaboury Conservation Center, then enjoy an evening on the banks of the Mekong before returning to Thailand. Our motorbike tours in Laos take you to the heart of hidden valleys and imposing jungles that have long been inaccessible to visitors. The north of the country with its network of secret roads and trails and its small traditional villages promise to provide you an extraordinary adventure.

Whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, or with a group of friends, a motorcycle tour in Laos with Vintage Rides means joining a small group of bold adventurers, creating the perfect opportunity to share moments of freedom and the love of motorcycle travel with like-minded enthusiasts.

NOT TO BE MISSED DURING A LAOS MOTORBIKE TOUR

  • Luang Prabang

With its harmonious blend of traditional Laotian architecture and colonial mansions, the former royal capital of Luang Prabang is by far the most beautiful city in Laos, and perhaps even in all of Asia. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city is home to exceptional heritage. To embark on a Laos motorcycle tour is to step back in time; you are sure to fall under the spell of its elegant and sophisticated temples.

  • The Mekong River

Crossing Laos from north to south for more than 4,800 km, the Mekong River plays a central role in the lives of Laotians. A source of irrigation for crops, a fish reserve and the country’s main transport route, this mythical river gives rhythm to the lives of Laotians. You will have several opportunities to behold its splendor during your motorbike tour in Laos.

  • The elephants of the ECC

During your Laos motorcycle tour you will have the unique pleasure of a stay at the Sayaboury Elephant Conservation Center (ECC). The Franco-Laotian ECC team fights for the protection of Asian elephants threatened with extinction. Laos was once home to more than a million elephants, but today their numbers have plummeted to an estimated 300 in the wild and 450 domestic elephants. Vintage Rides is dedicated to supporting this unique project, building responsible and restorative tourism in Laos.

THE PERFECT TIME FOR MOTORCYCLE TOURS IN LAOS

Laos has a tropical climate typical of Southeast Asia. The best season for Laos motorbike tours is from October to February. It is the dry season, with less humidity and cooler temperatures. In the northern mountains, it can even be cold during the winter. From May to October, it is the summer monsoon with heavy rains and oppressive heat.

MOTORBIKE TOURS IN LAOS: MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR DESTINATION

If you select a Laos motorcycle tour departure in the month of April, you will definitely want to attend Pi Mai. The most important festival of the year, Pi Mai rings in the Buddhist New Year and marks the beginning of the rainy season. Parades, dances, traditional shows and water fights are all part of this annual celebration. Laotians take advantage of this festival to splash themselves with water in a friendly and refreshing atmosphere.
