Xiang Ngeun to Phou Khoun
This ride starts on a new road along the Nam Khan for hydroelectric project

access roads leading throught the mountains, Shweet

Following some singletracks, I stumble on a Hmong village

The whole village comes running to see who is the new visitor

I wonder how many times that bridge has been washed away?

More incredible scenery to go before nightfall



Local with a Uniform and long gun


What a fabuous single track off into the distance, just don't look down!


Hmong village processing the corn the traditional way

Back out on to 13-S on to Phou Khoun for dinner!

Phou Koun is not my favorite place on the planet however, at 1370 meters elevation sunsets can be nice

Good Food, Good service, $4 a room, they are happy to but your bike inside for the night
