About Vang Vieng

Vang Vieng is a river town in central Laos, set among steep limestone peaks, caves and rice fields, with kayaking and tubing on the Nam Song.

Vang Vieng lies on the Nam Song river in Vientiane Province, between Vientiane and Luang Prabang, with a wall of jagged limestone peaks rising straight from the rice fields on the far bank. It is a small town that grew up around the river and the road, and a few Buddhist temples sit beside its market streets.
