Nam Ou: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
The Nam Ou is a tributary of the Mekong in the north of Laos. It joins the river to the north of Luang Prabang, north Laos' main town, and is a navigable waterway that is surrounded by beautiful mountainous scenery.
My suggestion
I advise you to travel on the Nam Ou between Luang Prabang and Muong Ngoy in the north so you can appreciate the calm of the region and enjoy the beauty of the mountainous countryside around you.
