Nong Khiaw, Laos

A tiny riverside town tucked away in northern Laos’ sleepy mountain ranges. December 5-7, 2025.

On my first day, I hiked up to Pa Deng peak for a classic sunset view of the town. On day two, I took a trip up the Nam Ou river to Muang Ngoi, a tiny village only accessible by water, and to Tad Mok waterfall.
