Travelling by car or minivan, we leave Vientiane and head out to the Nam Ngum Reservoir, 100km away. Along the way we stop at a Hmong village to visit the market and meet some of the local people. From here we visit the archaelogical site of Vang Xang which was built during the 8th to 11th centuries.
We lunch by the side of the reservoir, before embarking on a boat trip to visit some of the fishing villages located on islands within this huge lake. Returning home we make an additional stop to catch some more local culture.
