Vang Vieng has transformed from a notorious backpacker party spot into Laos's top destination for outdoor adventures. Nestled amidst stunning karst scenery, the town offers activities like caving, climbing, and kayaking along the Nam Song River. Once overrun by rowdy tourists, Vang Vieng now embraces eco-tourism, providing a quieter and more nature-focused experience. While remnants of its party past remain, the town's landscape remains its main draw, with towering limestone mountains and lush river valleys.
