After that, you will head off via mountain bike on a tour which covers about 26km through the karst range of the Nam Song &Vang Vieng.

Then, you will continue westwards to see the trail get increasingly rough when following the narrow valley of the Houay San stream until Pha Deng 'red cliff' appears at the right side.
