[2025 Nong Khiaw Attraction] Travel Guide for Phadeng Peak Viewpoint ຈຸດຊົມວິວພູຜາແດງ (Updated Sep)

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck 🚩 Nong Khiaw is a town in northern Laos, 140 kilometers from Luang Prabang. It's a small village surrounded by valleys, with the Nam Ou River flowing through it. This waterway provides nourishment for the villagers, who primarily work in agriculture and fishing. 🚩 Nong Khiaw's tourist attractions offer a slow-paced lifestyle, and the Pha Daeng viewpoint is a highlight for soft adventurers. Climb to the elevated viewpoint, offering a panoramic view of the entire village. Upon reaching the summit, a sea of white mist obscures the village. The mist almost covers the high mountains, leaving only the peaks visible, like islands in the middle of the ocean. 🚩 A popular photo spot for tourists is the bridge over the Nam Ou River, connecting Nong Khiaw to both sides. The view is stunning, and there are also accommodations and restaurants along the riverside for guests to enjoy. #DadsJaMaeJaTravel #DadsJaMaeJaInviteYouToTravel #Let'sTravel #OpenVisibility #EatTravelAroundThailand #Nong Khiaw #LaosTravel #NorthernLaosTravel #LuangPrabang

#Laos travel I would like to recommend this place. Pha Daeng viewpoint, Muang Ngoi Pha Daeng viewpoint takes about 1 hour to walk up and about 45 minutes to walk down. In addition to the impressive atmosphere of the sea of ​​fog as shown in the picture, I would like to praise the waste management here. There is no garbage to see at all. The villagers said that they want to preserve the completeness of nature as much as possible. The destination of this trip is Ban Nong Khiaw, Muang Ngoi, about 140 kilometers north of Luang Prabang, which is home to “Pha Daeng”, the most beautiful and popular viewpoint and sea of ​​fog right now (there are 2 rounds of buses, at 09.00 and 11.00). Traveling from Luang Prabang to Nong Khiaw will take route 13 North, passing Pak Ou town, along the Ou River and the alternating lines of the Poon Mountains. It took us about 3 hours to reach Ban Nong Khiaw. The weather is cool these days. The day we arrived, the weather was about 12 degrees. Here, we stayed at Nong Kiau Riverside, located on the Ou River. You can see “Khoa Nong Khiaw”, pronounced as “Khua Nong Khiaw” in Lao, or Nong Khiaw Bridge in Thai. #Pha Daeng viewpoint #Nong Khiaw #Muang Ngoi #ilovetrips #travellaos

#Laos Travel Pha Daeng Viewpoint, Nong Khiew, Luang Prabang Province If you come to Nong Khiew, don't miss going up to the 360-degree viewpoint of Nong Khiew Village. The path is not difficult, but it is a roundabout walk. The view from above is magnificent. The entrance fee is in the tens, and the view is worth millions. There is a sea of ​​fog all the time. It is even more awesome if you can set up a tent up there. You can see both the sunset and the sea of ​​fog in the morning. Next time you come, you have to stay here. #Nong Khiew #Luang Prabang #Laos #Laos Travel #Pha Daeng Nong Khiew #Pha Daeng #Sea of ​​Fog Viewpoint #Pha Daeng Viewpoint

#newyearadventure Let me introduce to my favorite viewpoint in Laos so far - the Pha Daeng Viewpoint. The hike to the top of the mountain takes around one hour and we stayed on the top for around two hours and the view was beautiful. The best time to go is for sunrise or sunset but make sure to bring a head torch so you can see in the dark. The way up is not too difficult but you need shoes

🚗How to get there - Travel from Luang Prabang, head along Lek T13 North Road to Nam Bak, then turn off to Muang Ngoi. It is about 170 kilometers from Luang Prabang city, taking 3 and a half hours. 🕞 ⛰Tourist attractions - It is a steep cliff, you have to walk up the mountain for about 30 minutes, but if you walk slowly and rest, it will take about 1 hour. On the cliff, there is a tent accommodation, which we have to book in advance, the price is about 200,000 kip / person 💵, which includes breakfast. 🌯 The highlight is the view that can see Muang Ngoi in full view, along the curve of the Ou River, and the fog that comes from midnight until morning 😶‍🌫️. It is recommended to visit in the winter. You can see more details on FB: nongkhiaw view-ຜາຊົມນາງ #nongkiew #luangprabang #laos

Nong Khiaw has lately been dubbed one of Laos' top tourist spots. Tourists did not pay much attention to this section of the country in the past, but it is now establishing itself as a destination to visit if you want to go away from the big centers of Vientiane and Luang Prabang. Nong Khiaw is a great place to visit if you enjoy trekking or simply want to see more of Laos' countryside. We went for hiking today to see the viewpoint and witness the beautiful town and afterwards a bit of kayak. it was indeed a fun day! #historicculture#nationalpark#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

#summervacay Pha Daeng Peak in Nong Khiaw is no joke, it’s a proper leg burner, but so worth it. This gem’s tucked in Luang Prabang Province, and it’s probably one of the best sunrise missions I’ve ever done. I dragged myself outta bed at like 4:30 AM (painful, I know), stumbled up the steep trail in the dark with a flashlight, and wow… the view at the top? Next-level. Once you hit the peak, you’re surrounded by epic mountains, misty clouds rolling over the Nam Ou River, and the little village below looking all peaceful and sleepy. Total dreamland vibes. The hike is short-ish but super steep, so bring water and maybe a snack unless you enjoy feeling faint halfway up. I chilled at the top for ages, just soaking it in. No sound except birds and the wind. Pure magic. If you’re in Nong Khiaw, don’t skip this, it’s a top-tier experience.

#citypassguide #laos #nongkhiaw I spent 2 nights in Nong Khiaw. Accommodation is relatively expensive compared to other places in Laos, typically ranging between $10–12 per night. The town is mostly visited by people coming for trekking. There are popular 2- or 3-day trekking routes. I hiked to two different viewpoints myself. 😀 As of November 2024, the road to Nong Khiaw was in very poor condition. Although the journey should take around 4–5 hours, the numerous potholes make the minivan ride much slower. If you join a guided tour, everything is usually included: trekking, accommodation, meals, and transportation. On the first day, you hike to a viewpoint; on the second day, you stay in a village; and on the last day, you kayak along the river. I paid around $14 for a round trip to/from Nong Khiaw. Alternatively, you can rent a motorbike from Luang Prabang to explore the area on your own. Viewpoints: Nong Khiaw Viewpoint: One of the best places to watch the sunset. It’s also a popular camping spot. While I was there, a group was setting up their tents to camp overnight. Sleeping Lady Peak Viewpoint: The most challenging hike for me. I started at around 3 PM and it took me about 40 minutes to reach the top. This spot is often visited for sunrise hikes. There are also caves in the area, some containing leeches, so I decided to skip them. You can also go kayaking on the river. You can take a boat ride to Muang Ngoy, a nearby village about an hour away. Some of my friends stayed overnight there, and I recommend visiting if you have extra time. My suggestion: If you're comfortable riding a motorbike and can handle rough roads, renting a bike from Luang Prabang is a great way to explore Nong Khiaw. Besides viewpoints, there are also caves and museums worth visiting. Personally, I focused on hiking to viewpoints during my stay.

#Travel to save the world #Travel to nature If you come to Nong Khiaw, don't miss going up to the 360-degree viewpoint of Nong Khiaw Village. The distance is about 3.4 km. It takes about 1.30-2 hours to walk. #Very tiring The path is not difficult, but it is a detour. The view from above is magnificent. The entrance fee is in the tens. The view is worth millions. There is a sea of ​​fog all the time. It is even more awesome if you can set up a tent up there. You can see both the sunset and the sea of ​​fog in the morning.

#ที่เที่ยวลาว Easily accessible walk up from Nong Khiaw. Be prepared to sweat if you go up later in the morning like we did. Round trip about 3 hours straight up and straight down again. Very enjoyable and you are rewarded for your efforts with great views The best time to visit is December/January for the most beautiful photos above the clouds. We woke up at 5 and started our climb at 5:50, at 6:48 we were at the top. We were alone for a good 45 minutes. The climb is pretty tough! The best photos though are when the sun rises bringing a beautiful natural light and warmth. #ที่เที่ยวลาว

Nong Kieu is a small rural town on the banks of the Nam Ou River in Luang Prabang Province, Laos, nestled between the most amazing limestone mountains. It is a popular tourist destination as there are hiking trails and cycling routes near the village. The only good way to get there used to be by boat from Luang Prabang or Muang Khua, near the Vietnamese border, but the boats are no longer operating since 2017 following the construction of a dam on the Nam Ou River. This village is well-known in Laos because the Nong Khiri Bridge connecting the villages on both sides was built with Chinese aid. The bridge offers visitors a beautiful view of the Nam Ou River and its surrounding breathtaking rocks, mountains, and hills. #OverseasTravel #Mountain #NaturalBeauty #SoutheastAsia #Laos #LaosTravel #LaosTravel #River #RiverView #MountainClimbing #Hiking #Bridge #Village #Fog #Boat

Nong Khiaw has recently been billed as one of the main destinations to watch in Laos. In years gone by, tourists didn’t pay much attention to this part of the country, but now it is starting to establish itself as somewhere to visit if you want to get out of the main hubs such as Vientiane and Luang Prabang. As Nong Khiaw is located amidst gorgeous limestone mountains, this is a wonderful spot to visit if you like hiking or if you just want to check out more rural areas of Laos. If you are planning to visit neighboring Muang Ngoi, then try to also spend a few days in Nong Khiaw on the way over, as there is a lot to see and do here, both in the town proper and in the surrounding villages. The trek to reach the viewpoint takes 1-1h30 depending on how hot it is and your condition. The trek is pleasant, a bit of climbing but also some walking to recuperate from the stairs. We recommend to start the trek around 5:30-6 am to avoid the heat. We arrived at the viewpoint at 7, it was amazing. Really nice 360 view, with the morning clouds slowly dissipating. Bring a lot of water and mosquito repellent.

#Sea of ​​mist. Beautiful viewpoint. Well worth the hike if you don't get too wet. Take the road out of town and the entrance is on the left. The climb is steep with lots of steps, but if you're slow it's manageable. I set off at 10am in mid-October and while it was quite warm it was fine. Took me 1hr 30min with plenty of stops. I was the only one at the top which was lovely (maybe people are avoiding the midday sun but it wasn't bad on this occasion). Luckily the trail spreads out near the top. I wouldn't have done it if it had been raining as it was very slippery.

super nice view and adventure at Nong Khiaw#mustvisit #laos #nongkhiawviewpoint
