How long does it take? How much? Comfort? Should we book before we get there or rock up on the day?
Short on time but still wanting to experience as much scenery as possible
Vientiane -Luang Prabang by boat
As far as I know it is no longer possible to do this journey by boat ( I was there in Jan so perhaps things have changed?). I would also ask you to bear in mind that it is VERY cold in the morning %26amp; evening in the mountains. The boats are also not that comfortable.
I travelled by local bus %26amp; the scenery was AMAZING, particularly between Vang Vieng %26amp; LP.
Vientiane -Luang Prabang by boat
Peace, what was the road like from V to LP?
It%26#39;s a very winding road with lots of twist, turns %26amp; ups %26amp; downs so if you suffer from travel sickness I suppose it would be a nightmare. It%26#39;s really not that bad though when it comes to actual road condition %26amp; I REALLY enjoyed the journey. I certainly didn%26#39;t find it hair raising as I did when I travelled on mountain roads in India! The buses are not in great condition (VIP or normal) but they manage to get them going ok. I took the local bus %26amp; although it took slightly longer it seems I had a better trip than those on the VIP bus %26amp; that the bus was actually in a better condition!
