Cycling in Laos offers a unique adventure through stunning, often untouched landscapes. Expect diverse terrain, from relatively flat routes along the Mekong River to more challenging climbs in mountainous areas. You’ll experience a rich culture and a more laid-back pace of life.
Road conditions in Laos can be mixed. While some main routes are well-paved, be prepared for sections with poorer surfaces and potential potholes, especially in more rural areas.
Our tours are planned with this in mind, and our bikes (often with wider 32mm tires on Laos routes) are well-suited. Our support vehicle is always available.
Yes, most nationalities require a visa for Laos. We recommend checking the latest requirements for your passport well in advance of your tour. Typically, visas can be obtained on arrival for many nationalities (passport photo and fee, approx. $50 USD, required) or from a Lao embassy/consulate beforehand.
The official currency is the Lao Kip (LAK). While Thai Baht or US Dollars might be accepted in some tourist spots, it’s best to have Kip for local purchases. ATMs are available in larger towns like Luang Prabang and Vientiane.
Laos is generally a safe country for travelers. When on a fully supported tour with Thailand Cycle Tours, your safety is our priority. We use experienced guides, provide vehicle support, and choose routes that are suitable for cycling groups.
