In reply to Alastair Marshall. Haha, tell me about it. The guide who came with us was in flipflops too and gave me such sad looks when I panted!

Local guide was taking the piss if he said 45 minutes. I recall being told that the quickest, young local boys running with no equipment, will do best time about 40 mins. We took about 2 hours too with the halfway pause and were exhausted. Next time will be sure to have better shoes, a rucksack and go earlier, but a great view.

Somehow Laos go left out when I did Vietnam and Cambodia last year. I absolutely loved Vietnam, for its nature activities, and Laos is also on the same lines. I am definitely hiking up the Long Khiaw Viewpoint when I visit Laos. Loved this helpful post and the pictures are so good.

The view looks absolutely incredible … as does the muddy slip and slide! 😉 I see the bomb and the notation it was one of the most bombed areas in Laos … presuming all the ordinance has been cleared and there is no worry of stumbling across some unexploded bits?

So cool to find a post about Nong Khiaw! I have visited Nong Khiaw in December 2017. Took a stop of a few days there on my way from Sapa in Vietnam to Luang Prabang in Laos. Hiked the viewpoint and enjoyed the mesmerizing views from the top. The hike wasn’t difficult but some parts of the hike were slippery like you mentioned. I hiked in December and the weather was perfect for hiking – neither hot, nor cold.

OMG, that picture of coming down the mountain is not for the faint of heart. LOL 😉 Looks like a beautiful spot and the pictures are surreal. Thanks for sharing and mentioning the GoPro which I always forget that I own and need to start using.
