Driving two hours up the mountain we

cross to the put-in-point. I first kayaked this river in a perception 3-D and loved it, great forests great rapids with about 18 grade 3 and 4 rapids over the two days with each rapid followed by a long stretch of flat water where you can recover if things go wrong.The trip TN, TN Pas Cher, starts about two and a half hours from the capital Vientiane which border Thailand, or 30 minutes from Vang Vieng, a backpackers retreat.From the main road you cross through a restricted area into Xaysomboun which used to be a Secret CIA base in the Vietnam War. From here we say goodbye to roads and civilization, only coming across two or three fishermanNike Air Max Ltd Pas Cher over the next two days. Contact paddle_adventures@hotmail.com or [http://www.paddle-adventures.com] for more courses and trips.Alex Aziz has been traveling and setting up tours in South East Asia since 2000 with vast experience and knowledge of many on and off the beaten places he now spends his time between the UK and Asia. These trips should be booked in advance as are not run on a daily basis. After the last grade 4 rapid we arrived at the Nam Ngum Lake formed by damming the river in the early 70s. Of course there is beer and food waiting on the boat.This is the main commercial trip run by Paddle Adventures for kayakers or rafters. I returned to set up rafting trips with a small company on a great 3-4 class river trip taking two days and camping out in a purpose built fishing hut for the night. You can kayak or raft down the river to our hut where we spend the night in sleeping bags under mosquito nets, which is all stored at location which means we only take food and gear on the trip.On the second day you continue down through several grade 4 rapids which can all be scouted andNike Shox Rival Pas Cher portaged if you don't think you're up to it with relative ease. At the lake we will have a fishing boat waiting to take us back to the nearest road this trip takes about two hours. There is also the Mekong fault line on the border between Cambodia and Laos which has given rise to a long line of numerous runable and unrunable waterfalls and rapids for the daring - this is some of the best water in the world. A relaxing break takes him trekking along the Ho Chi Minh trail or kayaking the rivers of Laos http://www.xplore-asia.com.
